SUMMARY:Yom HaZikaron: Israel's Memorial Day
DESCRIPTION:**Doors open at 6:30PM.** \nJoin our community for Yom HaZikaron—an evening of remembrance and reflection\nat a moment of deep significance. \nAs the people of Israel once again face the harsh realities of\nconflict—sirens\, separation\, loss\, and grief—this Memorial Day carries added\nweight. Together\, we stand in solidarity with those who continue to choose\nlife\, resilience\, and hope amid profound loss. \nWe will honor fallen soldiers and victims of terror and pay tribute to those\nleft behind who continue living and moving forward\, finding the strength to\nbuild lives of purpose and hope after loss. \nGuests are invited to arrive early to view an exhibit reflecting The Strength\nto Rise\, created by our community Shinshinim and their students. Following the\nprogram\, join the Shinshinim for שרים וזוכרים— Singing and Remembering—a Yom\nHaZikaron tradition of coming together through song. \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/14983
