July 4th vs Yom HaAtzmaut - What does Independence Mean Today? (S2, E42)

from Judaism in the 21st Century · host Steven Labkoff, MD & Rabbi Daniel Cohen

The concept of "independence" and its meaning vary between countries. In the USA, it's become a holiday with picnics, parades, and fireworks. In Israel, Independence Day (Yom HaAztmaut) is celebrated much differently. There is a juxtaposition of Memorial Day with Independence Day - they are one day apart in Israel. We discuss these and other differences in this week's episode.
