The Jubilee Years 2017-2018
Celebrating our Journey and Thanking our Friends
The story of modern Israel is an inspiring journey of hope and resilience, of the revival of the Jewish people's national sovereignty in its ancient homeland, of friendship and support for Israel from leaders and nations across the globe, and of the yearning for peace.
In 2017 and 2018, Israel will celebrate the jubilees of some of the key events that shaped our story.
The people of Israel see these jubilee years as a special opportunity to express their gratefulness to the countries and the individuals who have supported the Jewish state from its inception, partnering with Israel as it grew and developed into the thriving prosperous and stable democracy it is today.
Join us as we celebrate these key milestones in the history of Israel
