Yom HaAtzmaut

Just spent a lovely evening at the Science Centre for a Yom HaAtzmaut celebration given by the Israeli Consulate.

Highlights of the evening:

  • Delicious food prepared by an Israeli celebrity chef including kebab (there should have been a washing station) and a halvah mousse.
  • The new fully electric car by Greenpower to be rolled out across Israel in the next year and in Ontario, California, and Hawaii a year later.
  • Meeting Brigadier-General Hilton, Commandant of Canadian Forces College, and Major Mike Wiesfeld.  (Glad to connect with other Jews in the military, and Sean's been invited to the mess).
It's a nice night to be out and a good way to celebrate the day.
