The transition from Yom Hazikaron to Yom Ha’atzmaut is testament to the resilience of the Jewish people. We commemorate and honour our heroes – soldiers and victims of terror, who gave their lives in order for Am Yisrael to thrive.
Our Yom Hazikaron ceremony was incredibly moving, with real life testimonies from two Israeli soldiers who joined us this year. A big thank you to the youth movements for putting together such a special Tekes, and special mention must be made of Visual Creations for transforming the venue to look like you were taking a walk-through Hostage Square in Israel.
This Yom Ha’atzmaut we celebrated 76 years of the independence of our homeland and its people, with so much Simcha. We came together as a community and stood in solidarity, as we sang, prayed and rejoiced as proud Jews living in South Africa. As we continue to pray for the safe release of our hostages, now more than ever, it is important to stand together as one nation.
Yom Ha’atzmaut is one of the biggest events in our community calendar and the SAZF Cape Council is truly grateful to everyone who helped contribute to making this a huge success. Thank you to all our generous sponsors, entertainers, advertisers, and Norries Catering for the wonderful food supplied.
