SHOULD my
Declaration
SAY?
Your declaration video will spread around the world to cement the importance of May 14th history.
Your submission should be authentic, respectful, and thoughtful. It should express a clear perspective or personal connection with the significance and legacy of Israel’s Declaration of Independence.
Ideas for reel themes:
– Why Israel’s Declaration of Independence stands the test of time
– How the Declaration transcends political differences and unites us
– How it represents all streams of Judaism and protects the rights of every citizen
– Why Israel’s independence deserves global respect
– Why the Declaration is foundational to Israel’s laws and values

sample declaration of affirmation
“The Declaration of Independence of the modern State of Israel was a watershed moment in Jewish history. It expressed the Jewish people’s readiness to take destiny into their own hands, come what may, and to not rely on any outside force. The Declaration reminds us of the importance of our convictions, our willingness to fight for our land, and the justness of our cause, even against near-impossible odds. Declaration Day is the opportunity to affirm this every year into global consciousness.”
