Yom Haatzmaut 2023

Let's celebrate with values – our guiding principles.

Israel. This land of paradoxes is celebrating 75 years. 

We live in a country where the same person who will push you on the bus, will also walk three blocks out of their way to show you where you have to go; where should you trip and fall, ten people will show up out of nowhere to make sure you’re ok; where if you’re the last person on the bus, and it’s late at night, the bus driver will drive you home – or at least close by.  

We live in a country where anything is possible – anything. 

And that’s why we have to make sure that the worst doesn’t happen. 

That instead, we dig deep into ourselves and reconnect with positive values that define who we are. We are but a collection of habits. Our values should be the habits we live by each and every day. 

Values are maps of meaning. And they can help guide us and shape the behaviors that define us as individuals and as a society. And we must let them. 

Let’s take inspiration from 75 incredible women who are leading the way. In this celebratory Yom Haatzmaut post, these women share their understanding of what matters most and how we can make Israel a better place. 

That’s where we want to go. 

To a better Israel. Not just for us. But for our children. 

Because 75 years ago we were entrusted with this country. And it’s our job to hand it over, in better condition than we received it. 

That’s what this Yom Haatzmaut has to be about. 

We can’t let strife steal celebration. Instead, we must choose to listen to these inspiring insights that help us reflect on our own values. Because we know that Israel can be better, and that it’s up to us to make it so. 

Happy Yom Haatzmaut!
