The Israeli Declaration of Independence was proclaimed on May 14, 1948, officially establishing the State of Israel. Each year, Israelis celebrate Israel’s independence on Yom Ha’atzmaut, which is Hebrew for “Day of Independence.” On the Hebrew calendar, May 14, 1948 fell on the 5th of Iyar—which is when it’s celebrated each year (although if the 5th of Iyar falls too close to the Jewish Sabbath, Independence Day may be celebrated before or after).
Today, Independence Day is an opportunity for Israelis to gather with friends and family (often at picnics, barbecues, and parties) and celebrate their country; for example, many decorate their homes and balconies with Israeli flags. Each year, on the eve of Independence Day, there is also an official ceremony on Mount Herzl, which includes a ritual march where soldiers carry the Flag of Israel and a ceremonial lighting of 12 beacons—each of which represent one of the Tribes of Israel.
