More and more Jews are putting their kippot in their pockets and tucking their Magen David pendants under their blouses when they walk the streets of North America and Europe.
With Israel’s 75th anniversary coming up next month, planning is underway for The Yom Ha’atzmaut Experience a very special community-wide Yom Ha’atzmaut celebration that is planned for Tuesday evening, April 25, at Teaneck’s Votee Park. “The goal is to make Yom Ha’atzmaut into a special day for our community, to celebrate Israel b’rov am, with many people together, and to really make a statement for those outside and inside our community that we are proudly Zionist and that Israel is a critical part of our lives,” explained Rinat Yisrael’s Rabbi Chaim Strauchler, who is also chairing the planning committee for what is expected to be an extraordinary event.
