For a Jew, every day is Father’s Day. Not just once a year!
In fact, the mitzvah to “Honor thy father and thy mother” is one of the most fundamental commandments of the Torah.
Interestingly, the commandment of honoring one’s father and mother is on the side of the Tablets dealing with commandments between man and God. This is because our parents are our gateway to God. It is they who teach us about God and the Torah.
In Israel, Father's Day is usually celebrated as part of Family Day on Shevat 30, though some celebrate on May 1 together with Workers' Day or Labor Day.
