North American Reform Movement                Celebrates Israel’s 72nd Independence Day

A Time to cry and a time to laugh, A time to mourn and a time to rejoice” (Ecclesiastes 3:4)

 

Join us as we mark the transition between sadness and joy as we move from Yom HaZikaron – Israel’s day of mourning for its fallen, and Yom Haatzmaut, Independence Day. Join with Reform Jews across the world in helping the State of Israel mark the anniversary of its historic founding in 1948. Together we will offer reflection, song and prayer to observe this modern Jewish holiday, which in Israel begins with a Memorial Day -- Yom Ha-Zikaron -- and culminates in a day of national celebration – Yom Ha’atzmaut. Our virtual observance will begin by a transition ceremony – a Tekes Ma’avar -- from memorial to Israel’s fallen into a joyful reflection of Israel’s impact on what it means to be a Jew today.
