The Israeli flag flew over the State Capitol in Hartford on April 25 and 26 in honor of Israel Independence Day. Rep. David Baram (15th district) and Rep. Brian Becker (19th district) prepared a statement that Baram read into the official record, noting Connecticut’s “historic trade relationships with Israel, not only in defense industries, but in medical, bio-tech, manufacturing and in the arts and sciences.” Photo courtesy of Don Miller.
