Yom HaZikaron. Israel’s Memorial Day

Join us to honor the legacy of the Israelis who have fallen in combat and acts of terrorism.

We’ll mark the 50th Anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, a war that changed Israeli society forever, and will hear firsthand from Shraga Stern. Born in Israel to American parents, Shraga served as a platoon commander in the Nachal Brigade and as an active officer in the reserves. In 2016 he was stabbed multiple times during hand-to-hand combat with a terrorist. He'll be sharing his story and what's being done in Israel to help injured soldiers in both their physical and mental recoveries.

This heartfelt evening led by our Shinshiniot (young Israeli emissaries) and youth from our community and Partnership2Gether region, will offer a powerful connection to Israel and its people.  

Presented with The J Detroit, Partnership2Gether, Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces, Bnei Akiva and the Jewish Agency for Israel.
