The 12 torches represent the 12 Tribes of Israel. The theme this year is Youth. We have information about the 12 outstanding people chosen for their work with youth who lit the torches this year on Yom Ha’atzmaut. The Twelve Ceremonial Yom Ha’atzmaut Torch bearers [H/E]. The theme in 2006 was the Development of the Negev and the Galilee, this information is in Hebrew on http://www.pmo.gov.il/PMO/vadot/sig-events/des4651.
