In Hebrew, this day named “Remembrance day for Israel's military campaigns” this day symbolizes the people that sacrificed themselves to our country’s existence. Many people make a mistake and think that this day is for IDF (Israel Defense Forces). But before our country and the IDF came into being, there were many people who sacrificed themself for our country’s existence. They built underground organizations and fought the nations that controlled here. These people built this country !

This is one of the reasons that the Independence Day is the day after Remembrance Day. Because they built the country, and we have to remember that someone built it, and did it out of love for Israel, and we have to thank them before we are happy about our country.

Remembrance Day at Ein Ganim

Today our school had a special ceremony to remember the fourteen soldiers who were students at our school and died while serving in the army. The parents and families of those who lost their loved ones join us and it is a very hard and sad day for everyone.

There is a special section with a display.

Children's writings in memory of those who are no longer with us.

We remember and write about those who left us and are no longer here.

The heroes who have fallen that we will never forget.

The Ein Ganim settlement remembers those who are gone

The eternal candle which is lit in our hearts forever

It was very hot. A two minute siren left everyone standing together remembering those who helped Israel to become the nation it is today.
