On Tuesday, Google Doodle honored Israel’s Independence Day, a holiday also known as Yom Ha’atzmaut. This annual observance falls on the 5th of Iyar in the Hebrew calendar, with potential adjustments made to avoid coinciding with the Sabbath. In Israel, celebrations customarily commence at sunset, particularly in Jerusalem. The day is marked by speeches from government officials and a symbolic ceremony where 12 torches representing the 12 tribes of Israel are lit. The blue and white Israeli flag, prominently displayed in the Google Doodle, is hoisted high and waved across the nation during these festivities.
