posted on: Apr 24, 2015

n April 23, a group consisting of hundreds of Jewish and Arab Israelis will gather for the 12th consecutive year under the auspices of the nonprofit association Together Beyond Words to commemorate Nakba Day, Independence Day and Memorial Day for Israel’s fallen soldiers (which actually falls on April 22). This year, they will gather in the joint Jewish-Arab community of Neveh Shalom to “mark and respect the pain and loss on both sides and facilitate shared independence,” as the organizers said.
