Each year, noteworthy individuals are chosen to light one of twelve torches on Yom haAtzmaut, Israel independence day. They represent both the twelve tribes of Israel and twelve categories of achievement chosen that year as illuminating the Jewish nation, and indeed, the world over.
The 72nd Israel Independence Day Torch-Lighting ceremony will focus on bringing together and unifying the varied voices in Israeli society.
This short document is a brief on who is lighting the torches this year, and their contribution to the State of Israel.
