Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha'atzmaut

The evening started, in the nicely decorated Schindler Hall, with the lighting of the Memorial candles, which was then followed by a very moving rendition of the Last Post.

After this the Yom Hazikaron service began, during which the Rabbi mentioned his especial sadness for the loss of those comrades he had personally known whilst serving in the Israeli Defence Force. 

The mood changed dramatically when the time came for the Yom Ha'atzmaut service, celebrating the establishment of the Jewish State in the land of Israel, which ended with a spirited singing of the Hatikva.

Rabbi Yuval gave an audio visual on the theme 'the Jews are coming' - liking at Israeli society through satire. This showed in a fascinating way how Israeli society viewed, in a humorous manner, the many problems that it had encountered. 

At the end of the presentation the House Committee produced a delicious Israeli style meal that was hugely enjoyed by all.
