Celebrating Israel’s 74th birthday

Schools, community centres, the young and not so young put on their party shoes, donned the face paint and grabbed a flag to help celebrate Yom Ha’atzmaut. The finale – and the highlight of the day – was Zionism Victoria’s big bash at Caulfield Racecourse with thousands of people enjoying the festivities and concert.
