Yom Ha'atzmaut 2019

Today’s Doodle celebrates the 71st Anniversary of the day when David Ben-Gurion publicly read Israel’s Declaration of Independence and soon thereafter became prime minister of the newly formed nation. This historic event is commemorated each year on the Israeli national holiday of Yom Ha’atzmaut.

Blasts from the ancient shofar, a trumpet made from a ram’s horn, can be heard as Israel’s blue and white flag flies proudly both in Israel and in Jewish communities worldwide. The day ends with an evening parade at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem for the ceremonial lighting of 12 torches to represent the 12 Tribes of Israel.

Happy Yom Ha’atzmaut 2019!
