i would also like to add another word about yom hazikaron in israel. i think that it is amazing how in israel the day before celebrating independence day we take a day to remember all who have fallen defending the land of israel. the united states has a memorial day as well, but it is a month before july fourth. having the two days one after the other makes the celebrating bittersweet. it also accentuates how much we should not take the state of israel for granted in order that those who have fallen will not have done so in vain.

Just thought I would add to your wonderful, thoughtful and true post that it’s not only the males who have fallen there are also females; daughters, sisters and mothers as well.
And we also take the time today to remember all those who were brutally killed by terrorists simply because they were Jews or living here in our home land.
Btw I really enjoy your blog –thanks and keep up the great work
Thanks for your kind words and yes I agree we are also takiing the time to remember the women who have died defending the state of Israel as well as all the men women and children who have lost their lives in terrorist tragedies in Israel .
