Pesach greetings from Israel

yom hazikaron in israel

this photo says it all. this is in memory of all the sons, fathers, cousins and friends who have lost their lives defending the state of israel.
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.
