Diller Participates in Remembrance and Independence



On Yom HaZikaron, Israel's Day of Remembrance, Diller attended a beautiful ceremony to commemorate those who have fought and died for Israel. We watched the story of Yoni Netanyahu, a soldier who died in the efforts to rescue others. 

It was a somber night, however it was followed by a happier night with Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israel's Independence Day; that evening, Diller partied! The winner of Israeli  Idol, (just like American Idol, but in Israel,) Noa, performed, and we danced to some great music and we celebrated by putting Israel's flags on our cheeks! Not to mention the fact that Lindsey brought the MOST delicious baked goods in the world. Overall, the days were meaningful to us because we just met, and made connections with the Israelis from Rishon LeZion who will be joining the army in just two short years.
Annabelle, Josh, Eden, and Michael P. enjoy Noa's music!
Dillers enjoy Noa's final song!
