Shabbos Siren Installed at Moshav

by Yated Ne'eman Staff

A Shabbos siren system was installed in the Southern Samaria community of Neveh Yerek to remind residents when Shabbos is approaching.

Neveh Yerek, a secular moshav belonging to the moshav movement, is a community of vegetable growers founded in 5711 (1951) as part of the South Samaria Local Council.

The moshav joins dozens of other secular moshavim and kibbutzim where Shabbos sirens have been installed, in addition to many towns and cities that have a religious sector as well.

Like other such devices, the Shabbos siren at Neveh Yerek includes powerful, sophisticated amplifiers and an automatic operating system with Shabbos times for several years programmed into the system.

All of these systems are provided courtesy of Rabbi Rafael Halperin, chairman of the Zaakas Shabbos Association, which has endeavored to raise awareness of the sanctity of Shabbos in places around the country. The siren in Neveh Yerek is the 100th to be installed in Eretz Yisroel.

Shabbos sirens can also be found in Nesher, Keshet (Golan Heights), Ashkelon, Yaavetz, Givat Yehuda, Holon, Beit Choron, Tel Mond, Beit Chaggai, Beit Shean, Bat Yam, Givat Ze'ev, Har Shmuel, Hadera, Tirat HaCarmel, Carmiel, Carmel, Maaleh Adumim, Neguhot, Netanya, Sussia, Otzem, Acco, Arad, Atlit, Kadima, Kiryat Gat, Kiryat Malachi and other places.
