September 18, 2020. Sunset 6:59 PM. Brooklyn, NY.
Sun is still glowing off the roof here - as the 15-minute warning siren blares from somewhere deep inside the Hasidic neighborhood across the street. Known as the Shabbat siren, it sounds every Friday night in advance of Shabbat.
was the 13th year in an ongoing project, dedicated to the observation of the sun at every crossing of the horizon and to sharing the awareness of that moment with others (i.e. ring a bell). This year's invitation was for others to witness and share a sunrise or sunset each month. With the onset of covid19, came the mandate to shelter in place. Knowing that we would be at home each evening, we decided to ring a LOUD bell every sunset, marking the day's end to anyone within earshot.
