*Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut: How Should We Relate?*

This episode addresses a question many alumni are asking: how to relate to Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut?

Many who went through Shapell’s and Midreshet Rachel v’Chaya developed an appreciation for the State of Israel and for the IDF. At the same time, many now find themselves in communities where these days are not marked at all. Even within Israel, there is a wide range of approaches. Some communities do not observe these days, while others mark them in meaningful ways, and for some they are central to the year.

That leaves many people unsure how to think about it. Is this a hashkafic question, a halachic one, a communal one, or a personal one? And what do you do when your instincts don’t align with your environment?

In this episode, Rabbi Shurin offers a framework to help think through these questions with clarity.
