Yom Haatzmaut Sameach

Dear Friends. This Independence Day arrives during a time of deep complexity and sorrow. Our hearts are with the families who have lost what is most precious — soldiers and civilians whose lives were taken, heroes who gave everything so that we may continue to live in our homeland. Because of them, and for them, we continue forward and we enter Independence Day with our heads held high, with pride in the resilience of our people, and in the home we have built together. This is a moment to bring light into the darkness, to stand together, and to celebrate what remains strong — a nation, a people, and a shared hope for better days ahead. In hope for better days ahead, Moshe Lefkowitz
