After Israel's version of Memorial Day, a day for remembering fallen soldiers who dedicated their lives to protecting the country, all over the country Yom Haatzmaut is celebrated. Yesterday marks the 69th year of Israel's independence.
We joined the celebration in Tel Aviv by going to Rabin Square. Fireworks painted the sky. In the streets, you can see and hear laughter, children playing balloon hammers and chasing each other, children spraying each other with foam and silly strings. It was a cultural immersion at its finest.
