Yom HaShoah, the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust and Heroism, holds a special place in the Israeli calendar.

Passover, one of the most important Jewish holidays, is inextricably linked with a special bread – matzah.

The birthday of Israeli civil aviation is considered to be September 28, 1948, when the first president of the state, Chaim Weizmann, arrived in Israel from Geneva on board a military aircraft, Douglas C-54 Skymaster, converted for civilian use.
