Yesterday evening was the beginning of Yom Hazikaron, the day when Israel remembers those who gave their lives not only to defend the newly born Nation of Israel, but those who continued to defend Israel with their lives.
It is a sad day in Israel…there are few who are untouched by the losses resulting from the relentless effort to destroy Israel.
I don’t think that any of us in America truly understand how very hard it must be knowing that just miles away is an enemy that has chosen terrorism as its diplomatic arm, the murder of innocent women and children its diplomatic calling card and the elevation of murderers to saintly status the basis of their religion. And all of that is directed at you.
Yet there is a hope there as well as it heralds the day of celebrating the Independences of Israel.
So as day falls into dusk across the world, and in the Jewish belief a new day begins, it is time to think of Israel’s Independence and what it means.
okay….I’ll bite what does it mean?
