We Israelis are going through a tough time. There is no denying it: the whole country is on edge. We are suffering from serious sleep deprivation because of sirens that go off in the night. We are regularly called upon to make decisions regarding whether a particular outing is wise, and relatively safe. We are enduring a heightened sense of loneliness because safety restrictions curtail social interactions.
