Of-course we very strongly hold of and observe Pesach, Shovu’os & Sukkos. & we spend far more money on our Pesach provisions or Arba Minim, than on our Yom ha’Atzmaut celebrations, so nishtdayngesheft’s remarks of our observation of Pesach Shovu’os & Sukkos is totally unfounded, as well as highly offensive.
Furthermore we give very generous sums of money to Kimcha d’Pisscha, but not a cent to Yom ha’Atzmaut soup kitchens.
Chanukah is Keneged Sukkos {The oxen diminishing daily as do Beis Shamai’s candles}; Purim is Keneged Shovu’os, both being a time of Kiyemu veKiblu:- Acceptance of our Holy Torah; Yom ha’Atzma’ut is Keneged Pessach, both being a time of Geuloh {Incidentally the Haftoro of Acharon Shel Pessach is same Haftoro as that of Yom ha’Atzmaut}.
