Israel’s Independence Day will be celebrated throughout Scandinavia this year, but under strict security conditions. All Israeli Embassies will give receptions and the Jewish communities in Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm will hold public balls. Festive prayers and the “hallel benediction” will be recited in synagogues.
