Zionist Council of NSW Announces Yom Ha’atzmaut and Yom Hazikaron Programs

 

The Zionist Council of New South Wales is excited to announce the Yom Ha’atzmaut and Yom Hazikaron programs for 2014.

 

Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut are the most significant occasions on the Israeli calendar. In Israel the entire atmosphere of the country is transformed to reflect the solemnity of Yom Hazikaron and, immediately following, the exuberant celebration of Yom Ha’atzmaut. With the assistance and generous support of its communal and corporate partners, the ZCNSW provides the opportunity for the community to join together to honour the memory of Israel’s fallen and to rejoice and revel in 66 years of Jewish statehood in Israel.
