Every once in a while, we receive a very generic-looking typewritten piece of paper in Hebrew in our mailbox. I can't read enough Hebrew to ever figure these out completely, but it seems they are usually from neighbors who are about to create some noise and nearly drive us to the point of insanity.
One recent letter was apparently related to the teardown of a house right behind ours -- it even had the landlord's name handwritten into the addressee line. There was a different one today. It was more generic, but said something was going to happen today from 11AM until late afternoon in someone's garden. It was going to involve noise (one of the few Hebrew words I could make out). Sure enough, I heard loud (though pleasant, thankfully) music playing during those hours.
I still don't know exactly what the paper said, but I thought, perhaps naively, that maybe someone was having an open house, garage sale, or garden party, and inviting the neighbors. Maybe not:-)
There also tend to be a lot of VERY NOISY children's parties in our neighborhood. Complete with entertainment (the party meister is always equipped with a microphone and very loud speakers). These usually don't start until about 4PM and they always come without warning.
It all makes me wonder, shouldn't we all try respecting peace on a micro level at least?
