Yom Yerushalayim
Yom Yerushalayim is a highlight in the Mizrachi UK Calendar.
Our annual schools trip takes many of the top students from Jewish schools to experience Yom Yerushalayim first-hand in Jerusalem. Students learn about Jerusalem’s history, hear from top speakers such as Rabbi Doron Perez and Rabbanit Shani Taragin and join the local residents for their celebrations such as praying at the Kotel and celebrating through the streets of Jerusalem.
In 2019, Mizrachi UK celebrated Yom Yerushalayim with Likud-Herut UK, Ner Yisrael Community, Hendon United Synagogue and Alei Tzion. The evening hosted a special guest from Israel and Israeli dignitaries as well as a performance from the Independent Jewish Day School Choir. Rabbi Andrew Shaw led a special ceremony, with an accompanying audio-visual presentation and beautiful, moving singing from Chazzan Jonny Turgel. A festive buffet reception was enjoyed by over 200 people.
