Israel's
only English-language ceremony marking Memorial Day for Fallen Soldiers
and Victims of Terrorism will be livestreamed for the first time this
year, and is expected to be watched by Jewish communities and in Jewish
schools around the world.
The English-language ceremony is organized
by the Jewish Agency's Masa project, which brings Jewish youth to Israel
to train as community leaders. Some 7,000 Jewish youths and community
leaders are expected to participate in this year's event, to be held on
Tuesday evening at the Yad Lashiryon armored corps memorial site at
Latrun, outside Jerusalem.
Education Minister Naftali Bennett and the
outgoing Jewish Agency chairman, Israel Prize laureate Natan Sharansky,
will attend the ceremony. Simultaneous translations into French,
Spanish and Russian will be provided.
The Masa Facebook page will carry a live feed of the event.
"The ceremony allows the young people in
the Diaspora to be true partners at an event that carries immense weight
for Israeli society," Masa CEO Liran Avisar Ben-Horin said.
"Over the years, the event, with its
special content, has become a touching memorial service in which Jews in
the Diaspora bow their heads along with the Israeli people in memory of
the fallen."
