After 2000 yrs of exile and to return as a nation to our Homeland, the actual date of its independence should mean something. With giving a random day of the week as the day of independence, the actual reason for celebration will eventually be forgotten. This is not a Jewish concept; again the State taking the ways of the nations and it is obvious, in so many ways, the direction the State is taking. Also, the 9th of Av was the actual date (9th/10th) of the destruction of the two Batei Mikdash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-77271591198134586542014-11-24T16:53:21.455+02:002014-11-24T16:53:21.455+02:00my wife said the same thingmy wife said the same thingRafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-40452787193613819152014-11-24T16:53:05.263+02:002014-11-24T16:53:05.263+02:00I like thatI like thatRafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-47327491269109591062014-11-24T16:52:20.709+02:002014-11-24T16:52:20.709+02:00While the day the british mandate really ended was...While the day the british mandate really ended was the 6 Iyar (friday night at midnight), but as a strong symbol Ben Gurion decided that they would declare the independence before Shabbat began, the 5 Iyar.<br />So I've heard that in a way, the regular moving of Yom Haatzmaut in order not to desecrate Shabbat perpetuate the founders' Kidush Hashem...Amihainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-73265921187080515642014-11-24T16:51:17.209+02:002014-11-24T16:51:17.209+02:00Rafi, the premise of your last paragraph is flawed...Rafi, the premise of your last paragraph is flawed.
