MK Deri "Chareidim don't Have Any Obligations to Yom Ha'Shoah"

 

I am not going to debate here whether this day that the Israeli Government established as "Holocaust Remembrance Day" was the correct decision....

The fact remains that they did establish it as a day of remembrance, and because it is now a fact, it should be revered as a day of respect to at least  the survivors who are still alive..

This morning I spoke to a survivor, and old broken Belzer Chasid, and asked him what he thinks of Yom Ha'Shoah?

He looked at me with tears welling up in his eyes and asked me, "how can a thinking person be against a day like this?" 

I doubt whether their is one survivor who would be against this idea..

Yes there were Gedoilim like the Chazon Ish that wanted to incorporate this day into Tisha Be'ov ... and there is a lot of merit to this argument, but until this is definitively decided by everyone and I'm including survivors who are chilonim, this day must be respected and revered by everyone ....

Comes along this Deri character, who will soon be in the news for something totally different, who trivialises and makes nothing of this day, spitting in the face of frum survivors...

Shame on him!
