Difference between Remembrance Day and Independence Day

Difference between Memorial Day and Independence Day

To every purpose there is a time and a season under heaven.

D. A time to weep and a time to play, a time to mourn and a time to dance

Ecclesiastes 3

 

The transition between Memorial Day and Independence Day connects sadness with joy, mourning with celebration.

In this time interval, between the sunsets, we will meet for a Havdalah ceremony that was created to fill the emotional space between them and is based on ancient and new, traditional and contemporary sources. Through thought, poetry, prayer and melodies

 

As every year, this year too, we invite you and your friends, members of the Israeli House of Prayer and the general public, to gather together in the moments of transition between Memorial Day and Independence Day – we will gather together the moments of pain and heartbreak and grow stronger together in moments of celebration and joy.

Of all Israel's national holidays, Yom Hazikaron and Yom Haatzmaut are the times in which Israelis feel most connected to one another.

The transition between these two charged days, with the connection between grief and celebration, is emotionally complex for many of us.

Our Havdalah ceremony was created to fill the space between sorrow and joy and is based on ancient and new sources, the traditional and the contemporary.

Through poetry, prayer, hymns, contemplation and Israeli songs, we will come together to experience a gradual emotional transition, right before we finish mourning and begin celebrating our independence.

If you are looking for a meaningful way to transition from Yom Hazikaron to Yom Haatzmaut? Join Beit Tefilah Israeli for a special, musical Havdalah ceremony that marks the transition from Yom Hazikaron to Yom Haatzmaut
