Says it all

The Jerusalem Post dedicated several full pages to Holocaust Remembrance Day over the past few days, but the question is what happens today, now that we have stopped talking about the Holocaust and have moved to the stage of tekuma, national revival.

It is very important for the Jewish people to make the connection between the nation of Israel’s lowest point in its history to the beginning of the highest point in its history, namely the “beginning of the flowering of our redemption,” the establishment of the State of Israel.

One who fails to make this connection sees the Jewish people and its miraculous survival throughout the generations as nothing more than chance, completely void of God’s presence.

But while we are living in this momentous era, we also have a momentous task ahead of us – and that is to treat the Holocaust survivors with as much respect as we can and to take them out of the poor conditions so many of them are living in.
