Remember and honor: stories from Israel’s Memorial Day
Every year on Yom Hazikaron, Israel’s Memorial Day, the entire country stops. A siren wails for one full minute, traffic halts, conversations pause, and a nation stands at attention for its fallen. This year, Israel365 brought that moment to hundreds of supporters around the world.
