Yom Haatzmaut

Last night we celebrated Yom Haatzmaut in Tiberias with a disco boat ride in the Kinneret (Sea of Galiliee) and today we marched in Jerusalem from City Hall to the Western Wall (where we even saw New Haven's own Mendy hecht) to celebrate Israel's 62nd birthday. We finished our day with a mega concert at Latrun a fort that played a pivotal role during the war of Independence in 1948 and that today is a tank museum.
