More Honking

Honking has bothered me since shortly after our arrival. The other night was an exceptionally bad honking night. There was excessive honking going on at a large intersection not far from us from about 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. The honking was continuous and much of the honking was in the form of purposefully musical honking, as though the drivers were attempting to play songs. It was late, we were tired, and the honking was annoying. We also heard some shouting that sounded like it was coming from the honking area.

The next day we asked some people who lived near the honking about it. Eve said that people were approaching the intersection, honking, and getting out of their cars and dancing. She didn't know the cause.

A rabbi who lives near that intersection didn't remember the honking (?!?) but told us that there was a football (i.e. soccer) game and Israel had won so thus there was much rejoicing, literally in the streets, it seems. Ah, Israel.
