Ah, the announcements at the beginning of the semester...

You know I had to get one of the emails sooner or later (preferably sooner).  Here's the intent (I won't restate all the specifics):  בעקבות ירי הטילים מרצועת עזה, ברצוננו לרענן כללי התנהגות למצב ירי לעבר העיר (Following the firing of rockets in the Gaza Strip, we would like to remind you of the procedures).  If you read Hebrew a little, you will notice that "Gaza" isn't obvious (I noticed): it's עזה.  Hmm.  But you midwesterners are probably getting similar reminders about tornado season from the TV meteorologists.  Not so different.  I don't have to go to the basement, just away from windows, which is surprisingly easily in my postage stamp-sized apartment.
