Sam, while you are right, I think we should have the exact OPPOSITE perspective. We should love Yom Haatzmaut, because it is a day that all types of Jews have the amazing opportunity to show ahavas yisrael, and do their best to get along with and give a smile to other types of Jews, despite their differences on this day. What an opportunity it is! We should all go over to someone today who doesn’t do what we do, whether it’s someone who celebrates to someone who doesn’t, and vice versa, and greet them with a smile. Today can be a day where we can reach unbelievable heights by putting aside our differences and showing G-d that we are one nation.
