Oh Shreck says: “The only meaning to these days […] is such hakaras hatov to Hashem” despite seemingly ample reason for Hashem to withhold the tov. He concludes: “Now that is cause for celebration.”
It truly is. Nothing could better express the whole theology of Yom Haatzmaut as celebrated by Religious Zionists.
Enjoy the celebration, Shreck. Have no shreck.
