Israel 75 years “Chai”
The combined forces of people, who have spent a lifetime designing, making and selling pens, have led to this special creation!
The creation of this pen would not have been possible without the knowledge, sheer passion and friendship of a German enthusiast and collector of fountain pens. Together with two Dutch friends & fountain pen loves, who are responsible for the design of the Israel 75 years “Chai”, our friend was an inexhaustible source of knowledge and an important link in the communication. Without him, this project would not have been the success that it is today!
Yom Ha'atzmaut, Independence day, is the national day of Israel, commemorating the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948.
Because Israel declared independence on 14 May 1948, which corresponded with the Hebrew date 5 Iyar in that year, Yom Ha'atzmaut was originally celebrated on that date. However, to avoid Sabbath desecration, it may be commemorated one or two days before or after the 5th of Iyar
Although Israel was founded on May 14, 1948, its 75th year celebration will be, by the Roman/Latin calendar, on April 26th, 2023.
