Please join us as we come together in solemn remembrance and joyful celebration on these two most important days on the Jewish calendar. At the end of Israeli Memorial Day we move right into the day of celebrating Israel’s birthday.
Yom HaZikaron: A Time to Remember
We will begin the evening with a short ceremony in honor of Israel’s fallen soldiers and victims of terror—those who gave their lives for the existence and safety of the Jewish people. Together, we will reflect, remember, and express our deep gratitude for their ultimate sacrifice. This moment of collective memory connects us across generations, communities, and continents.
Yom Ha’Atzmaut: A Celebration of Independence
As the sun sets and the somber tones of Yom HaZikaron give way to celebration, we invite you to stay for an evening of Israeli culture, resilience, and joy as we mark the 77th anniversary of Israel’s independence.
Film Screening: The Wedding Plan
To celebrate the enduring spirit of the Israeli people, we will screen the acclaimed Israeli film The Wedding Plan (Laavor Et Hakir, dir. Rama Burshtein).
This heartfelt and humorous film follows Michal, a 32-year-old Jewish woman whose wedding is abruptly called off. Instead of canceling, she continues with all the wedding preparations—without a groom—believing with deep faith that one will appear. It’s a moving story of hope, identity, and belief, blending humor and depth in a uniquely Israeli way.
