The Day to Mark the Departure and Expulsion of Jews from the Arab Countries and Iran (Hebrew: יוֹם לְצִיּוֹן הָיְצִיאָה וְהַגִירוּשׁ שֶׁל הַיְהוּדִים מֵאַרְצוֹת עֲרָב וּמְאִירָאן Yōm ləṢīyyōn haYəṣīʾā vəhaGīrūš šel haYəhūdīm məʾArṣōt ʿĂrāv ūməʾĪrāʾn) is a National Day of Commemoration in Israel, observed every year on November 30 to memorialize the departure and expulsion of Jews from Arab countries and Iran.[1]
Background
[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]The Knesset adopted the commemoration day into law on June 23, 2014.[2] November 30th was chosen due to its symbolic proximity to the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine - adopted on November 29, 1947 - after which many Jewish communities in Middle Eastern and North African countries started to experience pressure and hostility from their Arab and Persian neighbors that ultimately resulted in a large scale exodus of Jewish communities from these countries.[3][4] The law was sponsored by MK Shimon Ohayon of Yisrael Beiteinu.[5]
For many Mizrahi Jews in Israel it is considered to be a belated recognition of a collective trauma long ignored institutionally throughout the country’s history.[6][7][8][9]
Memorialization in Israel
[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]On May 9, 2021, the first physical memorialization in Israel of the Departure and Expulsion of Jews from Arab lands and Iran was placed on the Sherover Promenade in Jerusalem.[10]
The text on the memorial reads;
"With the birth of the State of Israel, over 850,000 Jews were forced from Arab Lands and Iran.
The desperate refugees were welcomed by Israel.
By Act of the Knesset: Nov. 30, annually, is the Departure and Expulsion Memorial Day. Memorial donated by the Jewish American Society for Historic Preservation, With support from the World Sephardi Federation, City of Jerusalem and the Jerusalem Foundation"[11]
The sculpture is the interpretive work of Sam Philipe, a fifth generation Jerusalemite.[12][13]
