How Did You Spend Yom Haatzmaut At Work?

I work at IDT.
One of the nice things about working at a Jewish company is that they celebrate Yom Ha'atzmaut. Back when IDT was located in Hackensack, NJ, they used to hand out blue and white cookies. Now that IDT has moved and has its own building, they do things a little differently.

Now they give a Barbeque lunch.
Come take a closer look
And don't forget about the band
There are other nice things about working for a Jewish company.

There are 2 plaques in the lobby on the opposing walls as you walk in:

At the bottom of one plaque is the quote from Gemara Shabbos 31a:
What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. This is the whole Torah; all the rest is commentary. Go and learn it. – Hillel

And on the other plaque is this:
May it be the Ratzon HaShem that Klal Yisrael always have the Will to achieve its dreams.

Hope you had an enjoyable Yom Ha'atzmaut
Enjoy the rest of your week!
