Today, the fourth of Iyar, the day preceding Israel's Independence Day, is Yom Hazikaron: Israel's Memorial Day. For 24 hours all places of public entertainment are closed. The entire nation observes a two-minutes standstill with a siren at the beginning at 8:00 P.M. in the evening and a second siren and standstill at 11:00 A.M.

Watch this clip of Yael Bartana’s video Trembling Time and then look at this interview with her to get a deeper look at Israel during this crucial day.
