Wednesday
Yom Ha'atzmaut – Israel's 64th Independence Day
My country is 64 years old / passed infancy / yet not quite adult / more like an adolescent. / When she was very young / and I was in elementary school / all the children / wore white dress shirts on Fridays / and at the end of the day / we would put a coin / or two / in the blue and white Keren Kayemet LeYisrael - Jewish National Fund collection box / and feel proud to be participating / in the building of the new State of Israel. /
