Israeli Independence Day

Submitted by Fern R on Thu, 05/08/2008 - 7:04pm

Today is Israel's 60th birthday. In Hebrew, the holiday is called Yom Ha'atzmaut (Yohm Hah-ohts-mah-oot). Israelis celebrate (at least according to Wikipedia) by barbecuing, and in the evening, people usually go to the streets to sing and dance. Children and teenagers spray bystanders with silly string and fireworks are also set off.

Many Israeli bloggers have interesting posts up today, so I thought I'd share some link love...

Lazer Beams asks Are We Really Independent?
I'll Call Baila has a list of 60 Things She Loves About Israel
Super Raizy is throwing a Birthday Party for Israel
Jameel at the Muqata writes about Israel's Youngest Fallen Soldier
6tonsloth of the Jewlicious blog is covering the Israeli Independence Day celebrations in New York.

Also, be sure to check out 60 Bloggers. It's a massive group blog (60 bloggers) posting about their thoughts on Israel as it turns 60 years old.

Happy 60th Birthday, Israel.

Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.

Ezekiel 37:9-14

"In the world you will find tribulation, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world."

John 16:33
