Here's a Jerusalem Post article about yesterday's Independence Day celebrations:
As the sun set on Remembrance Day on Wednesday evening, the pain and sorrow of commemorating fallen friends and family dramatically gave way to joy and celebration as Israel marked 71 years of independence.
Keeping with tradition, many watched on television as Israel’s most impressive and inspiring citizens were honored at the annual star-studded torch-lighting ceremony at Jerusalem’s Mount Herzl.
And I enjoyed some time with my family eating barbequed food. This was a very good year in Independence Day celebrations.
