Israel's National Day to Commemorate Jewish Refugees from Arab Countries and Iran

Day for Jewish Refugees from Arab Lands and Iran

  •  
     
    On June 23, 2014 the Government of Israel adopted a law which designates November 30th as an annual, national day of commemoration for the 850,000 Jewish refugees who were displaced from Arab countries and Iran in the 20th century. The law, which is the culmination of several years of hard work and dedication by an international team of Mizrahi justice advocates, entails commemoration events and the inclusion of Mizrahi history into schools’ curriculum.
     
    The Consulate General of Israel to the Midwest would like to invite you to join us in commemorating this important day on Sunday, December 14, 2014, with a presentation, panel, Mizrahi music and cuisine.
