What is Israel Independence Day?

Israel Independence Day, or Yom Ha’atzmuat, is a celebration of the reforming of Israel after almost 2000 years since the exile of the Jewish people from the land.

For many people, it is more than just a holiday, but a celebration of resilience, freedom, and fulfillment of long-awaited dreams.
