Democracy in Israel today is in a state of crisis.
It faces ever increasing challenges – political, social,
religious and educational.
There is no better time to come together
to discuss and debate the State of Israel’s
founding document, its Declaration of
Independence – Megillat HaAtzmaut.
Through the words of the Declaration, we will rise
above the crisis, creating a dialogue between
different perspectives.
Join us for a Havdalah ceremony where we
will move from commemoration to independence,
followed by a re-reading of the Megillah by
representatives of different sectors of society
in a shared dialogue with the past as a way
to develop the narrative of the Jewish People
into the future.
