This year, Masa Israel Journey is making history by hosting the largest-ever English-language Yom HaZikaron ceremony. This significant event will provide a profound and inclusive experience for participants, offering a unique opportunity to connect with Israeli culture and remember those who sacrificed their lives for the State of Israel. This unprecedented gathering promises to be a moving and memorable tribute, honoring the memory of those who fell defending Israel.

Unprecedented Scale and Impact of the English Yom HaZikaron Ceremony

The sheer scale of this English Yom HaZikaron ceremony is unprecedented. For many years, Yom HaZikaron observances have primarily been conducted in Hebrew, limiting accessibility for a significant portion of the global Jewish community and international participants in programs like Masa Israel. This year's event aims to change that. By offering the ceremony in English, Masa Israel Journey is expanding the reach of this solemn occasion to a much wider audience. We anticipate thousands of attendees, making this truly the largest English-language Yom HaZikaron ceremony ever held.
