Yom Hazikaron and Yom Haatzmaut

 On Sunday night, we began our commemoration of Yom Hazikaron with a lecture by Tzvi Sperber, who has enthralled our students for years with his extraordinary skills. The next morning we traveled to Har Herzl, Israel’s main military cemetery, where our students heard about the many brave men and women who died defending our country. We then returned back to Tiferet, where a shiur by Rabbi Shalom Gold, enabled us to transition from the sadness of YomHazikaron, to the joy of Yom Haatzmaut. That night, we participated in a special Tefilla Chagigit with our adopted shul, Ahavat Tziyon, enjoyed a special seudat hodaa at Tiferet and joined the community chagiga here in Ramat Beit Shemesh.
 
On Tuesday morning we continued our celebration of the day by visiting the Israel Tank Museum in Latrun, site of an important battle during the War of Independence. Finally the day ended with our traditional barbecue in the park where we enjoyed delicious food along with our students, our staff and their families. It was a special experience to be able to enjoy this event alongside so many different other Israeli 
families who were all celebrating Yom Haatzmaut together. 
 
Special thanks to Stefani Schaechter for organizing the decorations for Yom Haatzmaut, and to Jen Weitzman and 
Tali Wolfset for their inspirational Divrei Torah.
