Israel went from pain to celebration at dusk on Wednesday, as Memorial Day for the Israel’s fallen since her re-birth in 1948 transitioned into joyful celebrations as her 71st Independence Day started.

Festivities for Israel’s 71st Independence Day Festivities started at Jerusalem’s Mt Herzl with the Torch-Lighting Ceremony. IDF soldiers paraded with Israeli flags around the procession grounds composing Israel related images in a beautifully choreographed display.

Who has heard of such as this? Who has seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be delivered in an instant? (Isaiah 66:8)

Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein dedicated his torch lighting to the residents in Gaza border communities, saying that they “prove the endless dedication and devotion that love of the land is not a slogan whose time has passed, but a way of life.”

Edelstein went on to say. “The people of Israel have one slogan: ‘Against all odds.’ They beat us and we stood up, they ravaged us and we moved on, exiled us and we always returned to the homeland” further addressing the audience “I turn to you, the child who is now watching the ceremony. You are part of a wonderful story that began in this country against all odds and its continuation depends on you”.
