In Israel, Memorial Day is known as Yom HaZikaron.
This evening and tomorrow Israelis will remember 23,085 fallen soldiers who sacrificed their lives protecting our precious country. We will also remember the 2,493 civilians who were killed in terror attacks. There will be a one minute siren this evening and again tomorrow morning.
Toda Raba.........
Toda Raba to our dear chayalim and chayalot
Toda Raba
for your service
in defending our nation.
Toda Raba dear reservist
for answering the call
to serve
so that our country will not fall.
Many have sacrificed their lives
so that we can live in our homeland.
Baruch Dayan HaEmet
you will always be remembered.
To those who are serving
all over our precious land
our prayers are with you
for success and good health.
May the Hand of the One Above
watch over you
night and day
and bring you home safely
into the arms of your family.
Miriam
