This video is incredible and I urge you to watch it all. I post this every year on Yom HaZikaron (Memorial Day).

Many Haredim do not recognise nor commemorate Yom HaZikaron but thanks to Rabbi Menachem Bombach and many other Haredim that is all changing and has been changing for many years.

He is a teacher at Hamidrasha Hahasadit Yeshiva. Many years ago he went against the mainstream of Haredi thinking and decided to make a massive change to the students in his Yeshiva by teaching them about Yom HaZikaron but what a better way to teach than to not tell the students what to think but to rather let them decide for themselves.

I will state that the purpose of this post is not to criticise Haredim but rather to give credit where credit is due and to understand that it is a process that doesnt change over night. I will not tolerate any hate speech on this.

May the memories of Roi Klein, who is the IDF hero mentioned in this video, and all other soldiers and victims of terror be for a blessing.

Young Arabs in the old city of Jerusalem vandalized 2 memorial wreaths that were placed for 2 different people murdered by terrorists in the locations it occurred.

I forgot to post this earlier.

This was the nationwide siren that went off to commemorate Yom HaZikaron. I took this while at the official military and security forces ceremony in my city Yavne this morning.

Bibi Netanyahu's great video opening the ceremony for Israeli Independence Day at the torch lighting ceremony tonight.
