Yamim 2019

Please join us at 3 pm today as planned for our Yom HaAtzmaut celebration. The opening ceremony and celebration after with food, silent disco and activities will be inside the Milwaukee County War Memorial in Memorial Hall, 750 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr., Milwaukee. The Walk for Israel will be outside, as planned. 

Yom HaShoah, Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzmaut, together called Yamim or “days,” reflect the great journey of the Jewish people — from slavery to freedom, from victimization to sovereignty. Yamim are a deep expression of our people’s shared destiny and mutual responsibility; it is the thread that joins us together.
