Standing as One Nation: Honoring Yom Ha’Atzmaut and Yom HaZikaron

Join the worldwide Melton community for this meaningful and poignant online ceremony marking the observance of Yom Hazikaron (Israel’s Memorial Day) and the transition to Yom HaAzmaut (Israel’s Independence Day). The 30-minute ceremony, live from Israel, will be led by Melton's International Director, Rabbi Dr. Morey Schwartz. Through study and song, we will honor the brave soldiers who have sacrificed their lives, remember the victims of October 7th, and pay tribute to the miracle of the State of Israel as it marks 76 years since its establishment in 1948. Together we will mourn. Together we will rejoice. Together we will witness the resilience and strength of the State of Israel. Am Israel chai!

We strive to ensure access and meaningful participation by all. As such, this program will have closed captioning.

This course is graciously sponsored by:
