Watch out!

 

If you are planning to arrive a few days in advance be mindful of two holidays preceding our wedding:

 

• Yom Hazikaron: Evening of Sunday, May 12th, 2024 – Monday, May 13th, 2024

 

The day Israel commemorates those who have fallen for the country, both soldiers and in terrorist attacks. It is a national mourning day, which means all shops, bars and restaurants are closed, there is also a siren for two minutes where everything stops and people stand and remember in silence. 

 

• Yom Haatzmaouth: Monday 13th May 2024 - Tue 14th May 2024 | All Day

 

Israel’s independence day, it is one day after Yom HaZikaron so the contrast between the two days is very unique. It is one of the happiest and craziest days of the year, so get ready for the biggest parties! The streets are full of people and music and there are loads of massive events and concerts.
