Early in the morning, while sent to photograph in Mea Shearim, the journalist received a missile alert. In the predominantly Orthodox neighborhood, few individuals have smartphones, so he was the only one to be alerted. Despite the warning, life continued as usual; older children accompanied their siblings to school, and market vendors were setting up their stalls, demonstrating a stark contrast to the urgency that might typically accompany such an alert.

As the journalist inquired about the existence of a shelter in the area, he was met with puzzled looks, reinforcing the atmosphere of inattentiveness. He stumbled upon a basement that looked like it could serve as a shelter, finding school desks and children's bags, indicating that a small educational institution was preparing for its students' arrival. The rabbi overseeing the place seemed unaware of the missile threats, and when the alert sounded, he stepped outside looking for his students, oblivious to the danger.

The journalist attempted to persuade the rabbi to enter the supposed shelter, but the rabbi simply shrugged, suggesting either a resignation to fate or a deep-seated belief in divine intervention. This moment encapsulated the community's seemingly nonchalant attitude towards repeated alerts, showcasing a unique coexistence with the constant threat of conflict, where routine and faith often overshadow the need for immediate responses to danger.
