For almost a decade now,
the Yeshiva and the Shaarei Yonah Menachem Kehilla,
(most of its members Olim Chadashim).
have made together the transition
from Memorial Day to Independence Day.
Rabbi Sobol, the Kehilla's Rabbi and the Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Shenvald spoke.
And then together enjoyed a joyous solemn prayer
with singing and dancing on the eve of Independence Day.
