Legacy Heritage Fund Limited is pleased to offer a remarkable programming opportunity for Jewish communities and college campuses across the US.  As we did last year, the foundation will be making available, via satellite and without cost, the opening ceremony of Yom Ha’azmaut, Israel Independence Day, in Jerusalem.

This deeply moving ceremony is dedicated annually to 12 individuals who have made outstanding contributions to Israeli society at large.  The ceremony includes greetings by  the speaker of the Knesset (the Israeli Parliament), a dramatic presentation, a ritual march of soldiers carrying the Flag of Israel, forming elaborate patterns (such as a Menorah, Magen David, etc.) and the lighting of twelve torches (one for each of the Tribes of Israel). The honored Israeli citizens, light the torches, as beacons.

This is an opportunity to see and appreciate the vibrancy and creativity of an Israel that is often neglected, and will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Tel Aviv.  The televised ceremony, which will have English subtitles, could be a program in and of itself, or the springboard for a wider discussion for you community. The ceremony will be televised in the US on Tuesday, April 28th at 8:00pm EST. 

If any JCC is interested in being part of this special evening, please have them me message at Legacy Heritage Fund as soon as possible to MKaroll@lhfl.net or contact me via phone at 212-578-8190x126.   

Sincerely,

Marci Karoll
