Throughout the day there will be ceremonies and films as well as discussion on “perpetuating the legacy of Jews from the East,” Walla reports.
“From now on, the children of Israel will learn the story of the Egoz ship [which sank in 1944 while carrying dozens of Jews from Morocco to pre-state Palestine] and the story of the wondrous Zionist journey of Oriental Jews,” says Education Minister Naftali Bennett.
