Israel

Sacred Spaces and Holydays: Forging Israeli Identity (2-part series)

Hosted By: Orange County Jewish Community Scholar Program ("CSP")

The Orange County Jewish Community Scholar Program presents a two-part series with Mike Hollander exploring how early Israel crafted its national identity through sacred spaces and commemorative days. The series will delve into the significance of Mt. Herzl in Jerusalem—home to the graves of Theodor Herzl and Israel’s political leaders, the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial, and the military cemetery, which reflects the heavy price of Jewish sovereignty. It will also examine the creation of three spring “Holydays”—Holocaust Remembrance Day, Memorial Day for Fallen Soldiers, and Independence Day—designed to remember, mourn, and celebrate as pillars of the young nation’s identity.
