Yom HaZikaron is Israel’s national Memorial Day for its fallen soldiers and victims of terror. It is marked on the eve of Israel’s Independence Day, suggesting an explicit link between the sacrifice made by those we mourn and the very existence of the State of Israel. Combatants for Peace (CFP) and the Parents Circle Families Forum (PCFF) have been hosting an alternative, and some feel contentious, ceremony to mark Yom HaZikaron for the past decade.
