In light of the current security situation, the Home Front Command has issued new guidelines to help protect all citizens and visitors across Israel.
Your safety and well-being are a top priority, and we kindly ask that you follow these directives closely:
Starting Friday, June 13, 2025, at 03:00, the entire country will shift to essential activity only. Only essential services will remain operational–supermarkets, pharmacies, hospitals, health fund, and the like. Your shoemaker, manicurist, and favorite pizzeria, are closed.
Public gatherings are currently prohibited including synagogue services.
Israel’s airspace is closed; all incoming and outgoing flights are suspended until further notice.
Please stay within close reach of a protected area (bomb shelter) at all times. Try this website for a list of the public shelters near you: www.safewayil/.ovh
In case of a security threat, sirens will sound, providing approximately 10 minutes’ warning. Note, in the past few days, this gap has narrowed.

Stay safe. We are thinking of you and sending strength to all those affected.
