Excerpt from Blog Post By Yasmeen Nour:

To some people reading this post, this may seem to be old news--after all, Israeli Independence Day was weeks ago...right?

Wrong. Israeli Independence Day is celebrated on the 5th day of the Jewish month Iyar, which this year happened to fall on April 23, and was postponed to April 24 for religious reasons involving the Sabbath.
