No Hiking on Yom HaShoah

This just looks bad...

The head of the search and rescue unit of the Golan Heights has called on yeshiva bochurim, of all sectors as he says in his call, to not go out on tiyulim tomorrow, on Yom Ha'Shoah.

Amir Duvdevani said that on Yom HaShoah they, the members of the rescue unit also stand together with all of Israel in commemoration of the victims of the Holocaust and participate in ceremonies and other commemorations. In recent years they have been called out to search for and rescue yeshiva students, from all the sectors, who chose to go hiking on trails and in streams on that day. The need to be rescued on Yom HaShoah, he says, causes a great chillul hashem, as well as harming the way the good boys are perceived, as people need to abandon the important things they are busy with. Duvdevani repeats his call and says in order to prevent chilul hashem, not to travel tomorrow. The public damage, even just the appearance, is not worth it and no tiyul that can be done any other day instead is justified.
