The religious faction wanted to add Yom Hashoah to Asarah B'teves, which would have been a tremendous Kiddush Hashem and would have been recognized by almost everyone. Sadly, the government made the other choice. And they put it in Nissan, no less. But I think many now realize it was a mistake and if they could do it again even many of the more secular would choose Asarah B'teves. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/yom-hagevura#post-372447 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 21:20:34 +0000 writersoul 372447@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Csar: I thought the designated date was Asara Bteves?<br /> As fat as the question is concerned, it's probably because they need a hero to hold on to and make you feel good about yourself. You can't just mourn six million dead people all day; it gets too depressing. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/yom-hagevura#post-372444 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 21:17:24 +0000 147 372444@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>I am already getting ready for Yom haZikoron this week, on Erev Yom ha'Atzmaut. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/yom-hagevura#post-372409 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:23:15 +0000 Csar 372409@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Why are you surprised, considering who invented this? </p> <p>And they chose the date of the Warsaw Uprising, because that is what they think Judaism is all about.

In fact, in many of the religious schools when they commemorate Yom Hashoah the don't focus on that fact. I know of at least 3 dozen people who have told me that they never even knew Gevurah was in the name until they went to Eretz Yisrael. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/yom-hagevura#post-372368 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 14:32:25 +0000 HaLeiVi 372368@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>I find it highly offensive that on the day they designate as 'Yom Hashoa', they make a big point about the brave fighters. Doesn't this feed the famous 'like sheep' notion?</p> <p>If they really feel it's important to celebrate the uprising and partisans, why not set a special date for that? </p>
