Israel Through the Years
Israel Through the Years
Shalom,
This year marks Israel's 75th anniversary. To celebrate, we have already rolled out a number of programs, with many more to come as we draw closer to Yom HaAtzmaut on April 25th.
One of the ways we will be commemorating the anniversary is through a series of "Israel Through the Years" posts. Everyday - more or less - starting February 11, which is 75 days before Yom HaAtzamut - we will post with a factoid about something that happened in Israel in a given year.
The first post will describe an event that happened in 1948. The second will describe something that happened in 1949. And so on, until we get to 2023. Some of the events described in the emails will be very well known. Others will be off the beaten path. Our aim is to inform, stimulate discussion and inspire people to want to learn more about our beloved State of Israel.
The material that we will be sending out will be created by our amazing kollel fellow, Yehonathan Kahana.
Watch this space for your daily dose of "Israel Through the Years". In the meantime, to get you in the mood, give a listen to this (you'll want to raise the volume on your speaker).
See here for Yehonatan Kahana's explanation on these emails.
