After about two months of planning, training, and preparations, about 140 flag bearers will take to the ceremony grounds.

The flag bearers represent the Israeli mosaic in all its parts and shades, as a symbol of the unity of the people. The Seder exercises are an expression of the values ​​of unity and national hope that create “bridges of hope.”

Even as Israel celebrates its independence, the IDF remembers the fallen soldiers of Israel's armed forces and the 59 hostages who are still in captivity.
