Yom Ha’Zikaron is Israel’s Memorial Day for fallen soldiers and victims of terror. This year, as war continues to plague Israel on all fronts and hostages remain in captivity, the day is particularly poignant.

Please join us on Yom Ha’Zikaron for a shared moment of silence and a few prayers acknowledging loss, hope, and renewed strength.

Originally remembering those who had fallen in battle to make independence a reality was part of Yom Ha’Atzmaut (Israeli Independence Day) ceremonies. As it evolved, the two days were separated so that the somber Day of Remembrance precedes the joyful Independence Day celebrations. But the two days remain linked.
