​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.

What a great set of photos! I remember how shocked I was by the way the Israelis celebrate their Independence Day! Instead of overly serious and boring marches, they have pure joy and festivities. I really liked that.
Happy Birthday, Israel!

The important State Ceremony for Yom Haatzmaut takes region on the eve of Yom Haatzmaut at Mount Herzl, Israel’s National Ceremony in Jerusalem. This occasion marks the stop of Yom Hazikaron (Israel’s memorial day, which falls right away before), and the beginning of the celebration for Yom Haatzmaut. The rite entails performances, speeches, and the ceremonial lighting of twelve torches which symbolizes the Twelve Tribes of Israel by twelve residents who've made an excellent effect on U. S. At the same time, cities, and towns across the united states have parties and firework displays.
