April 26, 2026 • 12-3pm
Reba and Sam Sandler Family Campus

Every Spring, the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater and Simon Family JCC present a Yom Ha’Atzmaut commemoration of Israel’s Independence Day. It is FREE and open to ALL.

 

Don’t miss this extraordinary community gathering, a celebration of Israeli culture like no other! Immerse yourself in the vibrant sights, sounds, and flavors of Israel through art, music, delicious food, and engaging activities. Led by Camp JCC, the Tidewater ShinShinim, PJ Library, area synagogues, and more, this event offers something for everyone.

 

It’s your chance to engage, learn, and experience the heart and soul of Israel, making her the country she is today.

Everyone is invited!

 

 

Yom Ha'Atzmaut, Yom HaZikaron, and Yom Hashoah are deeply interconnected days in Israel's collective memory.

 

Together, they underscore the significance of remembrance, resilience, and the continual pursuit of strong and flourishing Jewish communities, both in Israel and the Diaspora.

 

The United Jewish Federation of Tidewater invites you to join us in commemorating these important occasions and to learn more about them.  Please visit our Resource Page..
