This Yom Haatzmaut, Jerusalem is hosting a “Living Museum” honoring the heroes of Israel – past and present.
This year’s event is dedicated to those we lost in the October 7 Hamas massacre, our fallen IDF soldiers, our hostages and the tens-of-thousands of displaced families from Israel’s Northern & Southern borders.
