1948-2018: Israel at 70
This year, as Israel celebrates its 70th birthday, we must remember that independence was achieved and sustained due to the courage and commitment of the soldiers who fought during the War of Independence, and all the wars since 1948. The candles this year will tell the stories of IDF soldiers who were killed in battle throughout the 70 years of Israel's existence. Each year will include the story of one soldier or victim of terror. We honor and remember these brave men and women who gave their lives for the State of Israel. May their memories forever be a blessing.
