This short tribute to David Ben-Gurion, z"l, intertwines his declaration of Israel's independence with scenes that show Israel's growth into a modern state. It was all part of the first ever worldwide, virtual celebration of Israel’s Independence Day – a global event organized by the Jewish Federations of North America as a spiritual antidote to the feelings of isolation caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The event, held on April 29, 2020, enabled people everywhere, to join together and participate in celebrating Israel – while remaining physically separated, in the safety and comfort of their own homes.
