Looks like they know how to have a good time in Israel.


ISRAEL21c looks at the country’s Independence Day traditions – starting with the mangal and the nafnaf – for Israel’s 66th anniversary.

On May 5-6, the state of Israel’s 66th anniversary, every park and public space will be brimming with barbecues. But it’s not quite the same as July Fourth cookouts in the United States. We’ve put a peculiarly Israeli spin on our Independence Day celebrations.

How will you know when this 66-year-old country marks its independence? Look around for these seven sure signs.

The mangal

Without a doubt, the most prominent feature of Yom Ha’atzmaut (Independence Day) in Israel is themangal, or charcoal-grill barbecue.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, the average Israeli eats 1.7 kilos (3.7 pounds) of meat each month. During the month starting with Passover, however, the average jumps to 2.3 kilos per person.

This translates roughly to 15,000 tons of beef al ha’esh (on the fire) during the month of Independence Day – mainly entrecote, sirloin and tenderloin (or kebabs and burgers for those on a budget). Tons of chicken – mainly the thigh-meat called pargiyot — will also be cooking on the grill.
