Yom Hazikaron is observed on the 4th day of the month of Iyar of the Hebrew calendar, always preceding the next day's celebrations of Israel Independence Day. It varies from year to year in the Gregorian calendar:
2006: May 2
2007: April 23 (postponed from April 22 due to the latter's proximity to the Sabbath)
2008: May 7 (moved from May 9 due to the latter's proximity to the Sabbath)
2009: April 28 (The day opens the preceding evening at 20:00 (8:00 pm), given that in the Hebrew calendar system days begin at sunset, with a one-minute siren during which most Israelis stand in silence, commemorating the fallen and showing respect).Here is the pictures taken at Mishmar Hasharon during thier night of commemoration.I just have these two pictures because my right hand holding my employer and the left hand holding camera.What a crazy life of caregiver and same time a blogger , lol.

I don't have my own videos where you can see motorists stopping during a one minute of silence.We caregivers are not allowed to leave our employer inside the home or work place without the permission of the family and there should be someone to replace before leaving the work place. I'm always on my work /duty everytime of the jewish holiday of each year and I only watched on tv live show of what is happening around.
