Att'n Mirjam: Israeli Independence Day

Apr 24, 2007 3 Replies

We went to a celebration today just a few blocks over from where I am living. Lots of flag waving, singing, and dancing. Did you celebrate today, too? Or is it on a different date? Some of my research after I got back told me that it was on April 29, some said April 11, and some said May 14. So I have no idea which day it should be.



Higs, Katherine



Dear Katherine we celebrated yestterday and as usual the evening before , we start our Next day at dark of day before,,,,, Day before was Memorial day for the fallen in wars and Terror ,, This year memorial day would have fallen by Hebrew date on Sunday , whichg meant Evening before when Saturday Sunsets , Impossible thus memorial day moved to Monday , independence day mooved to Tuesday ,,, It has nothinng to do with April only with the Hebrew date of IYAR He =5 Iyar ,,,, But when it falls on Sunday it moves one day.. Hebrew and General dates don`t coralate only every 19 years ... thus this year it should have been on 23 april but actualy moved to 24 april , mirjam

Thanks, Mirjam.

Higs, Kather> Dear Katherine
