Today is Yom Ha'atzmaut!

Happy Birthday, Israel.  Here's to many more.

 

With its establishment on May 14, 1948 [5 Iyar, 5708] the State of Israel began a new chapter in the history of the Jewish people.  Accompanied by both jubilation and adversity, the birth of Israel 66 years ago opened the doors to Jews worldwide to come and live in a democratic and Jewish nation state, in which all citizens would be protected, as promised within Israel's proclamation of independence, with access to freedoms unparalleled in the Middle East.


Join the San Diego Jewish community in celebrating Israel on May 18th at Nobel Field!
