Rami Levy to Light Torch on Yom Ha'Atzmaut

Likud supporter and supermarket chain mogul Rami Levi has been named one of the torch-lighters in the traditional ceremony on the evening of Yom Ha'Atzmaut (Independence Day) this year.

His chain is the only major supermarket with several outlets in Judea and Samaria and is known for low prices and sales campaigns such as "shekel a kilogram" chickens.

The honorees for this year's torch lighting were named for their pioneering efforts and include Dr. Danny Gold, who developed the Iron Dome anti-missile system and WAZE developer Ehud Shabtai.
