YOM HA'ATZMAUT - ISRAEL INDEPENDENCE DAY

In the scheme of things, 63 years isn't all that long a period of time.  Yet in that short period Israel has managed to forge a modern democracy against all odds and warring enemies.  David Harris, Executive Director of the AJC, has a wonderful essay at the Huffington Post that I urge all to read.

And tomorrow, our school once again joins together with the Hebrew School at Ohavi Zedek Synagogue for our annual Y.H.  celebration.  At 5:30 we have a wonderful community sing.  Won't y'all join us?
