One of my most vivid memories of our
first trip to Israel back in 1980 was that we were there for Yom HaShoa, Holocaust Remembrance Day,
which, this year, is today.
At 11 am and again at 11 pm on that
day, sirens are sounded throughout the country and life literally comes to a
standstill. It is truly a moving experience. I am sorry to say that I do not
seem to have taken any pictures that morning, but it is still very much etched
in my brain.
Now, forty years later, even if we
cannot be in Israel this week, we can join in this experience through the
wonders of modern technology. Here is an example from Jerusalem.
Love,
Rebecca
