Jews in South Africa still celebrated Israel’s 72nd Independence Day, despite the limitations of a lockdown imposed on the community there as elsewhere due to the ongoing global COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The Sandton Sinai School in Johannesburg was among those to show its support for the State of Israel.
The Yom Ha’Atzma’ut celebration held online at the school was one to remember: the play and nursery school families held a “Zoom” dance party with Jonathan Birin, one of the top names on the South African Jewish music scene.
