Celebrating Israel â at a Drive-In
The Israeli-American Council shows the community the path forward.
For nearly a decade, the Los Angeles chapter of the Israeli-American Council held its annual Yom HaAtzmaut festival, Celebrate Israel, every year at Rancho Park in West Los Angeles.
The all-day affair typically drew more than 10,000 attendees, Jewish, pro-Israel community members of all ages and backgrounds who would show their love for the Jewish State by marching from the park to the Museum of Tolerance; enjoying the festivalâs carnival with their little ones; sipping beer and cocktails at an outdoor young professionals bar; browsing booths staffed by representatives of Jewish organizations and nonprofits that gave away free swag (if only you would take a moment to hear about the vital work their group does); and by dancing the night away at a live concert featuring popular bands from Israel.
Why I celebrate Israel
For me, a third-generation Israeli-American descendant of Holocaust survivors, Yom HaShoah and Yom HaZikaron always have been and always will be inexorably linked. Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Memorial Day, recalls the fate of our grandparents, who died as helpless victims. A week later, we mark Yom HaZikaron, Israeli Memorial Day, and the fate of their children and grandchildren, who fought courageously and died, not as victims but as heroes.
As an Israeli American born in Philadelphia, I went one Wednesday with my grandmother to the synagogue to mourn her loss on Yom HaShoah. And the next Wednesday, I went with my father to the Jewish community center to mourn his loss on Yom HaZikaron. Her loss was her entire family her husband and child included murdered by hatred and anti-Semitism of the most vicious kind. His loss was his fellow soldiers in an army of Jews fighting for their cherished homeland.
