Rememberance & Independence

Here in Yeruham, after the Passover holiday, spring is in full bloom. Here is a photo of Margalit walking to school in the morning.

The spring also brings national holidays: Rememberance Day in honor of fallen soldiers and Independence Day in honor of the founding of the State of Israel. Many people in our neighborhood flew flags this week to mark the holidays.

The city also put out flags on the main street of Yeruham.

At Medad's school, a special assembly was held on Remeberance Day. Here is a photo of the principal addressing the students.

Medad sang in the school choir.

Medad also participated in a flag ceremony.

Asher took part in an Independence Day celebration for all of the preschoolers in the city.

Asher's preschool recited a blessing for the State of Israel. You can see him in the middle of the photo.

Asher's proud grandparents were in attendance (visiting us for the week).

Independence day celebrations culminated with a fireworks display sponsored by the city.
