Israel's Memorial Day Hits Different During War | Land of Israel Network

I feel like Memorial Day in these years, especially after October 7th, as war is going on right now, it really cuts deep now. I mean, every Israeli feels it. Everyone knows someone. And then when we finally celebrate our independence, it's like, "Whoa, we're in the middle of a war. This really counts now." It really feels like everything it becomes more alive. So, if you just have Yom HaZikaron, and you feel the pain, and you see all around you there's mothers that lost their children, wives that lost their husbands, husbands that lost their wives. The the brokenness is beyond It's hard to even be able to to to live beyond that. It's so devastating. But, then it goes right into say, "What's it for?" Yom Ha'atzmaut is the answer to that question. What is it for? It's for this, for us to be able to live as the nation of Israel in the land of Israel for the God of Israel to shine a light to all of humanity in the world. And that's what it's for. It wasn't for nothing. It was for this. >> [music]
