YOM HA’ATZMAUT ISRAEL’S

Independence Day

TUE, APR, 25 - WED APR 26, 2023

As Yom Ha’Zikaron ends, Yom Ha’Atzmaut begins with an official ceremony held for Israel’s Independence Day on Mount Herzl.

The Yom Ha’Atzmaut ceremony includes a speech by the speaker of the Knesset (Israeli Parliament), performances by artists and Israeli soldiers who march in unison to form elaborate structures like menorahs or Magen David (Star of David). There is a ceremonial lighting of twelve torches - one torch for each of the Tribes of Israel. Streets are closed to cars, so people can sing and dance in the streets. The next day, families have picnics or a barbeque in the park to continue the Yom Ha’Atzmaut festivities.
