Yom Hazikaron 5771/2011 in Jerusalem

A mix of the emotional happenings in Jerusalem on National Remembrance Day for the Fallen in Defence of Israel. The Heroes of the Israeli Defence Force (Tsahal) are remembered with two sirens sounded one at night at the start of the Day (according to Jewish Tradition) and one at 11 o'clock the next morning when in all the military cemeteries all over Israel the remembrance events take place. This clip shows the evening silence and reflection at Heichal Shlomo during an evening organised by the "Tuesday Night Live in Jerusalem" team. The rest of the clip shows the multitude (literally thousands) who came to show their respect at the military cemetery at Har Herzl in Jerusalem the next morning and were silent during the 11 o'clock siren and the recitation of Kel Maleh Rachamim by Shai Abramson the Chief Chazan (Cantor) of the Israeli Defence Forces
