Lighting the Torch: A Hero Among Us

From Our Past President

One of the great ceremonies of Israeli society is the torch lighting that closes Yom Hazikaron and opens Yom Ha’aztmaut. Twelve people are selected for their contributions to Israeli life-some are famous, but more are not. Yet it’s clear that these people are the unsung heroes of Israeli society. This year, I am extraordinarily proud to report that Tzippi Harpenes, principal of AMIT’s Elaine Silver Technological HS in Beersheva, was chosen to light a torch.
