Yom Haatzmaut: A Celebration of Spirit, Song, and Unity

Today, Yavneh Boys marked Yom Ha'atzmaut with a day full of ruach, reflection, and celebration, as we expressed our gratitude for the gift of Medinat Yisrael.
The day began with a lively Shacharis and Hallel, led by Rav Elad, filled with spirited singing and dancing that truly captured the joy of the day. The energy in the room was electric as boys joined together in heartfelt tefilla and festive song. After Davening, the boys enjoyed a hearty breakfast, followed by a meaningful Dvar Torah from Rabbi Rickman, reminding us of the values and ideals that connect us so deeply to Eretz Yisrael.
We were honoured to welcome back two of our alumni, Josh Kay and Zack Melul, who shared their personal stories of life in Israel, the challenges and deep love for Am Yisrael.
The celebrations continued with a delicious BBQ lunch, giving the boys a chance to relax and enjoy the sunshine together.
In the afternoon, the focus turned to deeper learning as students engaged in sessions exploring the significance of Eretz Yisrael and Medinat Yisrael, appreciating the spiritual dimensions of our homeland.
We ended the day on a high, with the boys having a fantastic time on inflatable games and obstacle courses, bringing together fun and Achdus in the perfect conclusion to a day filled with pride and simcha.
Chag Atzmaut Sameach from all at Yavneh Boys!
