APRIL –

28/6 Iyyar
Torah Study w/Rabbi Harkavy 10:00AM

Yom Ha'atzmaut (Independence day) - Iyar 4 - is celebrated on Thursday, April 26, 2012 when Israel turns 64 years old.
It commemorates May 14, 1948 (Iyar 5, 5708), when David Ben Gurion declared the independent state of Israel after the
British Mandate of Palestine ended.

On Yom Ha'atzmaut there is a tradition to have a picnic and barbeque in the parks and forests. In the evening, people celebrate in the streets with songs and dances, and balconies are decorated with Israeli flags. The design of the Israeli Flag is a blue Star of David (H: Magen David) in the middle between two blue horizontal lines on a white background. The blue represents the color of the sky. The star represents a shield that protects King David. The white represents purity.

Repairing the World  

"Tikkun olam" (literally, "world repair") has come to connote social action and the pursuit of social justice.
The phrase has origins in classical rabbinic literature and in Lurianic kabbalah,
a major strand of Jewish mysticism originating with the work of the 16th-century kabbalist Isaac Luria.
The term "mipnei tikkun ha-olam" (perhaps best translated in this context as "in the interest of public policy")
is used in the Mishnah (the body of classical rabbinic teachings codified circa 200 C.E.).
There, it refers to social policy legislation providing extra protection to those potentially at a disadvantage--governing,
for example, just conditions for the writing of divorce decrees and for the freeing of slaves
