The Way We Are
Tuesday evening May 10 through Wednesday May 11 is Yom HaZikaron, Israel's National Remembrance Day for the Fallen
& the Victims of Terror. Wednesday evening May 11 through Thursday May 12 is Yom HaAtzmaut, Israel's Independence day.
The official "switch" from Yom HaZikaron to Yom HaAtzmaut takes place a few minutes after sundown, with a ceremony at Jerusalem's Mount Herzl Cemetery in which the national flag is raised from half staff to the top of the pole.
