Monday evening, May 13, we will mark Yom HaZikaron as well as Yom HaAtzmaut, two Israeli holidays that are fundamentally intertwined with each other. With guidance from Shy Ashkenazi, a talented experiential Israel educator, we will mourn and remember the devastating losses of this past year, as well look ahead to the future with hope as we celebrate Israel's birthday. Through song, poetry, prayer and conversation, we will come together to go from evel (mourning) to yom tov (celebration).
