Beginning in the evening on April 25th, Israel will be marking its 75th year since Independence. On this milestone occasion, we are celebrating the close connection between the Shaar and Israel–which dates back to long before the establishment of the State. In this digital photo gallery, see how the Shaar has celebrated, marked, and memorialised important moments in Israeli history, both in Israel and in Canada, beginning in 1912.

As we celebrate Israel’s 75th, the Shaar Museum and Archives wants to see your Shaar/Israel memories! Do you have any photographs, papers, or other documents from across the years? If so, please get in touch with us at museum@theshaar.org
