Day to Mark the Departure and Expulsion of Jews from the Arab Countries and Iran(Israel)
An Israeli commemorative day remembering the departure and expulsion of Jewish communities from Arab countries and Iran.
Established by the Israeli Knesset in 2014, this day is observed each year on November 30 to honor Jewish refugees from Arab lands and Iran. The date coincides with the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine in 1947, which led to significant demographic shifts. Ceremonies include official state events, museum exhibits, and educational programs highlighting the cultural heritage of these displaced communities. Speakers discuss topics of justice, historical recognition, and the absorption of refugees into Israeli society. The observance aims to raise awareness of their plight and preserve the memory of Jewish communities uprooted in the mid-20th century.
