YOM HA’ZIKARON
MEMORIAL DAY FOR THE FALLEN SOLDIERS AND VICTIMS OF TERRORISM
MON, APR 24 - TUE, APR 25, 2023
Yom Ha’Zikaron opens at 8 pm with a siren that lasts for one minute. The siren calls Israelis to stop everything and stand in silence to respectfully commemorate the fallen. All places of entertainment in Israel are closed on the evening of Yom Ha’Zikaron.
Regular television programs cease for the day so the names of every soldier who died for Israel can be displayed. The next day, on the day of Yom Ha’Zikaron, a two-minute siren is sounded at 11 am. The second siren begins all official memorial ceremonies and gatherings at cemeteries in Israel.
