President Peres to the 120 Outstanding Soldiers:

"You are Israel's army of peace! Without you Israel would not be protected, with you Israel will know peace"

 The President of the State of Israel, President Shimon Peres, hosted the central Independence Day celebrations at his residence in Jerusalem this morning. The celebrations included the traditional ceremony for the outstanding soldiers and the "Singing Independence with the President" event which has also become an Independence Day tradition. The event was attended by Prime Minister Netanyahu, Minister of Defense Yaalon and Chief of Staff Gantz who each sang a song they had selected along with various Israeli artists

The Cabinet, at its weekly meeting today (Sunday, 14 April 2013), on the eve of Israel's 65th Independence Day, the theme of which is national heritage, decided to build a permanent home for the Israel State Archives out of recognition of the latter's importance as the national institution responsible for preserving, and rendering accessible, the documentation of Israel's state institutions.

Women artists, writers, MKs, and public intellectuals will speak at a celebratory event to mark the publication of And She That Stood – The Passover Haggadah with a New Feminist Interpretation. They will speak about experiences of freedom in their lives and what the festival means to them. Speakers at the event will include: Agi Mishol, Yochi Brandeiss, Neri Livneh, Si Heiman, Anat Lev Adler, Sara Blau, Esti G Hayim, MK Tami Zandberg, Eilat Beiton Schlonski, Noam Fertman, Rachel Liel, Naomi Chazan, and more.


The event is being held by Hamidrasha Center for the Renewal of Jewish Life in Oranim and the New Israel Fund, and will take place on Wednesday, 27th March, 18:30, at Beit Ha’ir, Bialik Square, 27 Bialik Street, Tel Aviv.

Passover will take place this year between sunset on Monday 25 March, and sunset on Monday 1 April.  The first and last days of Passover – Tuesday 26 March and Monday 1 April – are legal holidays in Israel.  Passover marks the exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt, from slavery to freedom.  Jews are commanded to tell the story as if it had happened to them personally and not as a mere historical event, in order to emphasize the importance of our hard-won and precious freedom.

Preparations for Passover

The period preceding Passover is marked by extensive preparations and several special ceremonies.  The most important of these concerns the removal of hametz, i.e. any food product that contains leavened wheat, oat, barley, rye, or spelt products.  In keeping with the Biblical command in Exodus 12:19<http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Bible/Exodus12.html> and 13:7<http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Bible/Exodus13.html>, Jews will, before Passover, thoroughly clean their homes to remove any crumbs or bits of food, etc. that may be hametz.
