Israel’s right to exist isn’t up for debate

Israeli Independence Day! The April 26 Yom HaAtzmaut event in Milwaukee featured a torch from Israel.
Local supporters of Israel gathered around a Maccabiah torch, from Israel. People gathered around the official “Jewish Olympics” torch on April 26, as part of a vibrant Israel Independence Day (Yom HaAtzmaut) event, at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center.

As a festive and busy day wound down at Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center, some participants at Yom HaAtzmaut broke out into the hora, having fun and celebrating Israel’s independence.
Among this year’s signage, brought to the Israeli Independence Day event by Milwaukee Jewish Federation, was a placard that reads: “Israel’s right to exist isn’t up for debate.” Attendees held up the signs April 26 at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center. Photos by Rob Golub.
