So deeply moved to be part of the Hallel religious celebration of Yom Haatzmaut, the birth of the State of Israel, with so many Westchester Jewish communities, gathered together in song. What beautiful sacred leadership by Rabbi David A. Schuck and Cantor Gaby Schvartz גבי שוורץ and their davening team.

Happy birthday, #Yisrael. You’re looking over 5000 years young, and not a day over 74. Miss you every moment, and I can’t wait to come back and visit you again soon. Until then, shalom. 💙🇮🇱 Swipe to see photos from my last trip when we visited the @ayalon_institute_museum of the Rehovot Bullet Factory where 45 youths of the kibbutz made the ammunition for the Israeli Army during the War of Independence—in a secret underground factory!! Fascinating piece of #Israel’s history and independence. #YomHaatzmaut #Israel #israeliindependenceday #israelmuseum #יוםהעצמאות #ישראל https://www.instagram.com/p/CdJbgvXLrg3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Happy Yom Ha'atzmaut! יום עצמאות שמח! Happy 74th - Independence Day Israel. 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 Yom Ha'Atzmaut (Independence Day) celebrations begin a few minutes after the sun sets at the end of Yom HaZikaron, the Remembrance Day for Israel’s Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terrorism. A strong bond links these two days: To a large extent Israelis owe their independence - the very existence of the state - to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for it. The juxtaposition of the two days relates the euphoria of independence to the awareness of its cost.

I first tasted Shakshuka in Israel, decades ago. There was no going back! I LOVE this dish. Unlike most versions though, I like the sauce chunky so all my recipes are this texture. I thought of Shakshuka yesterday because Israel Independence Day is in a couple of days but actually this is such a good choice for brunch or breakfast any time! It’s really nice make-ahead stuff if you’re having people over. I have several recipes on my website.

Israel's Memorial Day, ending with the extreme contrast of Independence Day celebrations, is always a testament of the extreme circumstances and setting Israel and its people have grown custom to living.
I personally can never get use to it. Switching from grieve and sorrow to celebration has always hit me very hard.
So today I wish you all days celebrating life in whatever shape and form it is handed to you 💙
