Remember Israel’s National Holidays Next Week

Next week, Israel will mark Yom Ha’Zikaron (Memorial Day) on Monday, May 1, and Yom Ha’Atzmaut (Independence Day) on Tuesday, May 2. On Monday, Israel will mourn the lives of fallen soldiers and victims of terror in solemn ceremonies across the nation. The next day, the country will celebrate Israel’s 69th birthday. Take the opportunity to attend one of the Yom Ha’Atzmaut events organized by one of our three local Jewish community centers: Alper JCC, MAR-JCC, and the Miami Beach JCC. Next year, don’t miss your chance to spend these holidays in Israel on Federation’s Israel at 70 Mission. Click here for more details.
