Young Indian Jews in Israel were able to experience the Indian Jewish legacy brought to Israel by their forefathers through Indian Jewish artifacts.
Friends of India in Israel created videos to send out Independence Day greetings, which were shared on the Embassy’s social media networks. The Embassy also posted a video of famed Israeli singer Keren Porat Snapir performing the Indian National Anthem on its social media pages.
On the occasion of India’s 75th Independence Day, the Embassy held a remembrance ceremony at Junction Station Cemetery in Nahal Sorek, which honors Indian soldiers who perished in this sector during World War I. Representatives from the four Indian Jewish communities in Israel, Indian students, WWI Jewish historians, members of the Indian Army in UNDOF, State Bank of India, and Air India also attended the ceremony.
