Tekes/
Ceremony
Information
- take a hat/sunscreen
- there is usually no shade on the parade ground and you can
sit around in the blazing sun for long
enough to get thoroughly burnt!
- In the winter dress warmly.
- take bourekas/
nash - the boys are hungry by the end
- go early as we got to spend an hour with our son before the Tekes started.
- go early, sit as near to the front as you can, but accept that you won't see a thing. As soon as it starts, a bunch of Israelis will rush to the front to get a better view/take good photos/get a better photo than anyone else and generally get in the way. You're going for the atmosphere and so that your daughter knows she has your support.
- Sign up for the dvd - they'll deliver to any address in Israel, it costs about £5 and you'll see
everything perfectly!
