We were honoured to attend tonight’s #YomHazikaron ceremony at the Kotel. We heard stories of courage & loss that confirmed: #Israel’s each & every victory comes at a cost. We honour the memory of the lost men & women. We remember their sacrifices on behalf of us all.

Today started with a Yad Vashem visit following 2 minutes of silence for Israel’s fallen & terror victims. However, as the sun set, grief turned to joy & we were privileged to attend the official #YomHaatzmaut celebrations on Mt. Herzl. Mazel tov to #Israel on its first 75 years!

Pomp, pageantry & so much pride - always aware #Israel’s 75 years of success comes at a cost. Rabbi Dee’s dignified presence made that clear. We looked on proudly as military man & Beit Halochem member Avigdor Kahalani lit the night’s first torch. #YomHaatzmaut #Israelat75

In #TelAviv, #DavidBenGurion’s inspiration is felt everywhere. #Israel #TelAvivIsMyHappyPlace #ShabbatShalom

AdinaZ 🇺🇸🇮🇱🤌🏼 🪬⚖️ I am!! We were here with a Beit Halochem Canada mission. It was an incredible week - seeing much of the country and meeting the men and women injured while defending her. We can’t thank them enough for their sacrifices - of both body and soul.

Our Yom Ha’atzmaut Mission ended among Heroes. At the site of Valley of Tears, we heard of the Yom Kippur War from #BeitHalochem members Avigdor Kahalani, whose actions helped turn the war around & Amnon Sharon who was a Syrian POW. They broke his body, but not his spirit.

Last Friday, we enjoyed Shabbat dinner with newfound friends & Heroes, including Surin Hershko, the one soldier seriously injured during #Entebbe. This week, we wish you a peaceful #ShabbatShalom as we share some images from our magical Mission in #Israel. #BeitHalochem #ZDVO

Like all of #Israel, we are proud of our ZDVF - Beit Halochem #BeitHalochem member! Kol Hakavod, Moran. #paralympian #rowing

Even before they boarded the plane to compete in the Invictus Games Düsseldorf 2023, we recognize these ZDVF - Beit Halochem men & women for the champions they are. May they enjoy every minute of their experience of #Israel's first appearance at the #InvictusGames!

Each #athlete in #Israel’s #InvictusGames2023 delegation was injured in the line of duty, is a member of ZDVF - Beit Halochem, & has benefited from #BeitHalochem #rehabilitation centres’ specialized equipment & skilled coaching. From #Canada, we cheer on Israel’s #disabled #veterans!

Our friend, Avigdor Kahalani. #YomKippurWar Hero.

When we light our candles this evening We honour those murdered We pray for each one taken hostage We hope the injured go from strength to strength in their recovery We thank our defenders We think of our Beit Halochem family and all of Israel Am Israel Chai #WeStandWithIsrael

Our “Beyond the 7th” audiences in Montreal and Toronto this past spring were moved by Daniel Weiss’ remarkable talent & mesmerizing performances. We’re proud to see him go from strength to strength in his growth as an artist while continuing to grieve the loss of his parents.

#BeitHalochem-Team Israel made us, #Israel, & themselves proud. Shabbat shalom to all our injured Heroes - whether they competed at #InvictusGames2025 in #Vancouver or not. Day in & day out, they are our champions - each & every one of them. thej.ca/2025/02/20/isr… via @THEJ.CA
