Israel Matzav: Interesting take on Yom HaAtzmaut (Independence Day)

Interesting take on Yom HaAtzmaut (Independence Day)

Monday night and Tuesday are Yom HaAtzmaut (Independence Day). For those of you who are thinking that the day is wrong, you're right. A few years ago, the Knesset decided to postpone the celebration of Yom HaAtzmaut by one day whenever it falls on Monday, so that Yom HaZikaron (Memorial Day or Remembrance Day) will not come out on Saturday night and Sunday, because that could cause desecration of the Sabbath in preparing for the Yom HaZikaron night ceremony.

Here's an interesting take from a dear friend of ours whose aliya, unfortunately, did not work out (I used the American flag also because they now live in the US).

UPDATE 4:29 PM
