Yom Ha'Atzmaut, Yom HaZikaron, and Yom Hashoah are deeply interconnected days in our Israel's collective memory.

Together, they underscore the significance of remembrance, resilience, and the continual pursuit of strong and flourishing Jewish communities, both in Israel and the Diaspora.

The United Jewish Federation of Tidewater invites you to join us in commemorating these important occasions and to learn more about them. Please visit our Resource Page..
