Yom Ha'atzmaut

On the 5th Iyar in the Jewish calendar celebrates its Independence Day Israel, the Yom haAtzma'ut (Hebrew: יום העצמאות, Independence Day ).

The Israeli Declaration of Independence took place on May 14, 1948 or 5 Iyar 5708; the Yom haAtzma'ut was introduced the following year in 1949 as a reminder of the proclamation of the Jewish state by David Ben Gurion.

In Israel, Yom haAtzma'ut is a cheerful cheerful holiday, the use of many Israelis to trips with friends and families.

Yom haAtzma'ut immediately follows Yom Hazikaron, the memorial day for fallen Israeli soldiers and victims of terrorism.
