May 4, 2009

Herzl the ViZIONary of the Jewish State

 

Israel marked Herzl Day on the 10^th Iyar, 4^th May this year, alongside Diaspora communities and Zionist Federations, many of whom combined this with the Yom Ha'atzmaut celebrations, presenting Herzl awards.

 

Around Israel, schools, educational institutions and the IDF marked Herzl Day, as did the Knesset in a dedicated official session.

A series of educational events for Israeli youth, IDF soldiers and leadership groups also took place at the Herzl Museum and Herzl Educational Center last week.
