Yom Ha’atzmaut
Connecting to Israel through music, culture + dance
With Rabbanit Dalia Davis
We are gathering on Wednesday to mark and celebrate Yom Ha’atzmaut — Israel’s Independence Day.
We know Israel is complicated. We know this day is complicated.
We also know — Israel means a lot to us.
There are big feelings as we celebrate this year’s Israel Independence Day. Join us to take a moment to celebrate Yom Ha’atzmaut. To honor what Israel means to us.
Bring your lunch, your breakfast, something that makes you feel like celebrating.
There will be music, prayer, poetry, meaning, and an opportunity to dance if you’re so moved. (pun intended!)
After October 7th, Rabbanit Dalia Davis choregraphed a series of Israeli folk dance performance to process the emotions that she was experiencing. This performance — “To Live Again” — is the third in that trilogy. The video includes an introduction by Rabbanit Dalia explaining the inspiration for this piece. Performed in March 2026 at the Israel Folk Dance Festival by the Gadalnu Yachad dance troupe.
Enjoy this music playlist for Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut curated just for us by Rabbanit Dalia Davis.
After coming together so many times about Israel over these past years in prayer and pain, we want to take a moment to celebrate what Israel means to each of us. Together, with meaning, as a community.
Come when you can, stay till you can’t. But, come. Let’s be together.
