The irony is that the people who run Aish don't believe in Zionism or Yom Ha'Atzma'ut at all. All that is just a way to manipulate people into being frum.
I agree that the use of Yom HaAtzmaut by Aish is a manipulation though they are probably more zionist (with a small "z") than some other Haredi BT institutions. That said, this clip certainly beats the Maccabeats and Fountainheads hands down.
Just in time for sefira - an unoriginal music video from Aish!

ReplyDeleteI dont know how true that is. Aish runs hesder programs and has many programs that have zionistic bent.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or do there seem to be more flags that usual around this year?
ReplyDeletePerhaps people want to combat the anti-Yom Ha'atzmaut feelings by going overboard.
I can't say that I blame them...this neighborhood is changing rather quickly!

ReplyDeleteAish is somewhat Zionist; it's Ohr Somayach that follows the Chareidi line.
