Attending the ceremony will be Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Reuven Rivlin, opposition leader Isaac Herzog and other ministers, MKs and rabbis.
Also attending will be French Energy and Environment Minister Segolene Royal, who ran in the 2007 presidential election but lost to Nicolas Sarkozy.
