MZ Shabbat "Card"
Services and Weekend Activities
Shabbat Shalom - Shemini
|
|
|
Until relatively recently, the last festival to be added to the Jewish calendar was Chanukah, more than 2000 years ago. Yet within living memory, no less than four new days have been added, all of them between Pesach and Shavuot, the days of counting the Omer.
First is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Memorial Day, on the 27th of Nisan. Then comes Yom HaZikaron, the fourth of Iyar, on which we remember those who fell in Israel’s wars and those who died from terrorism. Next is Yom Ha-Atzmaut, Independence Day, the fifth of Iyar, recalling the day on which in 1948 Israel’s Independence was proclaimed. The fourth is Yom Yerushalayim, Jerusalem Day, on 28th Iyar, in which we remember the reunification of Jerusalem during the Six Day War in 1967….The people who were victims of the greatest crime against humanity became the people who rebuilt their lives, their land, and their nation. A thousand years from now, people will wonder at this extraordinary sequence of events. Jews, who collectively have suffered the worst and inspired some of the best achievements of humankind, remain a living symbol of hope.
