Sending My Kid to School the Day After a Ceasefire — #OnlyInIsrael 🇮🇱
Chapters & Summary
The creator explains the jarring reality of Israeli life where over a month of war is followed immediately by a ceasefire. Parents received messages at 9 PM the previous day that school would resume after children had been staying home due to missile threats that bomb shelters couldn't withstand.
The creator's children are excited to return to school across different grade levels, from preschool to junior high. They're heading to drop off at the gan (preschool), showing the Hebrew alphabet and the normalcy of the morning routine despite the extraordinary circumstances.
The creator questions whether Israelis can truly trust their enemies to maintain the ceasefire, noting that all Israeli children are now back in school. They close with the Hebrew phrase 'behazlacha lanu' (good luck to us), reflecting the cautious optimism and surreal nature of life resuming so quickly after conflict.
