Breaking with our usual custom of avoiding the Yom HaAtzma’ut traffic, the Shiputzim family hit the road today.
Flags were everywhere:
There were other electronic signs as well:
!מועדים לשמחה לאלתר לגאולה שלמה
Happy Yom HaAtzma’ut!

Happy birthday Israel and thanks for sharing these shots with us.
ReplyDeleteIlana-Davita - I'm glad you enjoyed them. There's absolutely nothing like being in Israel for Yom HaAtzma'ut!
ReplyDeleteI even saw an Israeli flag on a van in Highland Park! (It may have been my son's Hebrew teacher).
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good day and enjoyed the flags and not the traffic. (those roads look empty to someone who has been on the Jersey shore - or in the middle of Jerusalem in a car).
As was commented there was no traffic, so you're hitting the road next year.

Great shots! We also saw a bunch of those, but you're better at snapping photos while driving :)
ReplyDeleteMotzei Chag Sameach!
Great pictures, to jpix I presume.
ReplyDeleteLeora - As it so happens, all these pictures were from Kvish 6 (the Trans-Israel Highway), where there was - as you correctly noted - barely any traffic. Elsewhere, however, was a completely different story. Let's just say that someone who is used to driving down to the Jersey shore in August would've felt right at home... :-)
ReplyDeleteSPYYMZ - Time will tell... :-)
Toby and Batya - Thanks!
Dropping in from Havel Havalim #264.
ReplyDeleteBelatedly: beautiful... no, amazing. Here, you see one sometimes. Here or there... but nothing like this. May I be zochah to see it person someday soon.
Belated moadim l'simcha from ICLW (International Comment Leaving Week) #163!
Jennifer - Welcome and thanks for your comment! This was our 12th Yom HaAtzma'ut in Israel (BA"H) since we made aliyah, and each year, it gets better and better.

Amen!
