If you are an American citizen, is it acceptable for you to celebrate “Yom Ha’Atzamaut”,  the independence day of a foreign country?

Keep these questions in mind as you answer:

·      Won’t celebrating this Israeli holiday day be seen as unpatriotic by other Americans?

·      If America is your home, then why do you need to celebrate any other country’s day of anything?

·      If Israel is so important to you that you celebrate it’s holiday, shouldn’t you live there?

·      Can you really care for and celebrate two nations that do not always agree and sometimes are in opposition on large and important issues?

What about celebrating in public this year as a community? Will it be different for you or others in our community?
