But it’s not a celebration. It’s a random date to commemorate.
I thought we agreed that it wasn’t “random”.
BTW, I forgot to quote your words in my last post. My words,
“Yes, I believe that is true. If the focus was on the “gevurah”, I would rethink trumpeting my disagreement.”
were in response to,
“if you were ever in any Dati Le’umi or “Modern Orthodox” day school, you’d know that the entire day is somber and about the deceased and the survivors, not about the fighting.”.
Please understand though, that chareidim take holocaust commemoration no less seriously than other Yidden; plenty of books have been written, videos released, and programs run in yeshivas and Bais Yaakovs. Holocaust studies are an important part of our kids education. We just don’t specify a day other than 9 b’Av, and recognize, and care about, the fact that the date which was chosen was not at all random, but nefarious.
