PORTSMOUTH, OH – In 1948, the state of Israel emerged more than 2,000 years after its people were banished from their homeland. A miracle, indeed.
Seventy-five years ago, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion read Israel’s Declaration of Independence at the Tel Aviv Museum. Israel had been reborn.
Israel declared independence on May 14, 1948, but it marks the Independence Day on different dates every year based on the Hebrew calendar.
Israel celebrates its independence annually on the fifth day of the Hebrew month of Iyar, immediately following Remembrance Day on the fourth. This year, Remembrance Day began on the evening of April 24th and Independence Day began on the evening of the 25th.

“Dear citizens of Israel,” Netanyahu began, “the sharp transition from Remembrance Day to Independence Day is like the birth of the country, which brings both comfort and joy.”

As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proclaimed:
The days when the Jewish people remained passive in the face of genocidal enemies, those days are over. We are no longer scattered among the nations, powerless to defend ourselves. We restored our sovereignty in our ancient home…For the first time in 100 generations, we, the Jewish people, can defend ourselves.
