	MyJewishLearning.com - Holidays: Yom Yerushalayim
		Following the model of Yom Ha'atzmaut, the Chief Rabbinate of Israel has decided that this day should also be marked with the recital of Hallel (psalms of praise), and with the lengthier version of Psukei d'Zimra (the psalms in the earlier part of the morning service).
		In addition, unlike Yom Ha'atzmaut--which is a day to celebrate the existence and successes of the modern Jewish state--Yom Yerushalayim can make some politically liberal Jews outside of Israel uncomfortable, due to the continuing conflicts over the future of the city.
		A common citation in Yom Yerushalayim celebrations in Israel is the quote (Psalm 122:4) Ir shehubrah lah yahdaiv-- "a city that is compact together" or "a city uniting all." (This translation is probably influenced by a rabbinic midrash on this verse which interpreted the phrase to reflect events in rabbinic times.

	Yom Ha-Atzmaut - Israeli Independence Day
		The official "switch" from Yom Hazikaron to Yom Ha-Atzmaut takes place a few minutes after sundown, with a ceremony on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem in which the flag is raised from half staff (due to Memorial Day) to the top of the pole.
		Yom Ha-Atzmaut is concluded with the ceremony of granting the "Israel Prize" recognizing individual Israelis for their unique contribution to the country's culture, science, arts, and the humanities.
		Some rabbis argue that Yom Ha-Atzmaut should be viewed in conjunction with Hanukkah and Purim, since all three commemorate a "miraculous" victory of the Jews over an enemy of superior military might.

	Yom Yerushalayim - Jerusalem Day
		Of the four holidays that were added to the Jewish calendar in the 20th century (Yom HaShoah, Yom HaZikaron, Yom HaAtzmaut, and Yom Yerushalayim), the latest holiday is also the last one held during the month of Iyar.
		Yom Yerushalayim - Jerusalem Day - is the anniversary of the liberation and unification of Jerusalem under Jewish sovereignty that occurred during the Six Day War.
		Yom Yerushalayim is celebrated on the 28th of the month of Iyar (one week before Shavuot).

	Yom Hashoah, Yom Hazikaron and Yom Haatzmaut: Observances of The Modern State of Israel
		The juxtaposition of this day with Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzma’ut creates a contrast between the era of the Holocaust and the era of the State.
		The Chief Rabbinate has ruled, nonetheless, that the Tenth of Tevet be the day of reciting the Kaddish (mourner’s prayer) for those relatives, victims of the Holocaust, whose date of death is not known, and to mark the day with prayer and study.
		On the afternoon of Yom HaZikaron the country begins its transition to the national celebration of Yom HaAtzma’ut. This transition is not as difficult as it may appear in theory: the human spirit, and the society, is capable of making this emotional shift thoughtfully, meaningfully and with sensitivity.

		The placement of Yom HaShoah is, instead, the outcome of pluralism in Jewish life and a profound philosophical and religious judgment.
		The initial pressure for a day to commemorate the Holocaust came from Shoah survivors in Israel, specifically from leaders of the ghetto fighters, partisans and the underground resistance to the Nazis.
		By permitting Yom HaShoah to be scheduled in this 30-day period, the Orthodox conceded that the Exodus message is wounded by the assault of the Shoah.

		Yom Kippur is the "Day of Atonement" and refers to the annual Jewish observance of fasting, prayer and repentance.
		The Yom Kippur fast also enables us to put aside our physical desires and to concentrate on our spiritual needs through prayer, repentance and self-improvement.
		It is customary in the days before Yom Kippur for Jews to seek out friends and family whom they have wronged and personally ask for their forgiveness.

		Yom HaZikaron, Israel's Memorial Day, is a day to remember those who have lost their lives fighting for the State of Israel.
		As night falls on May 6th and Yom HaZikaron gives way to Yom HaAtzmaut, the country turns to festivities and song.
		This year on Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzmaut we can take the opportunity to review what part Israel has played in our lives so far and what place she will hold in our future.

		Yom Ha’atzmaut is as joyous as Yom Hazikaron is sad.
		The next day, on Yom Ha’atzmaut itself, we went to see a "Living Museum" that was staged in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Rechavia.

		One of the most memorable periods in Israeli life is the two-day sequence of Yom HaZikkaron, the nation's Memorial Day for fallen soldiers, and Yom HaAtzmaut, Israel 's Independence Day.
		In a country with a citizen army and a history of fighting wars in every generation for its right to exist, it is a rare family that has not been touched in some way by war and its terrible price.
		The transition at sundown from Yom HaZikkaron to Yom HaAtzmaut is, by contrast, subdued, but the emotional transition is profound: from expressive mourning to equally demonstrative celebration.

		Instead of our usual visit to Har Herzl on Yom Hazikaron, we went last Sunday, which had the advantage of missing the crowds, although we also lost out on some of the sense of "Amcha Beit Yisrael" when we watched the Tekes on television.
		For Leil Yom Ha'atzmaut we joined with a number of other Midrashot in the Beit Midrash of Midreshet Moriah, which included dancing and a program led by Esther Schlisser, Jerusalem story-teller extraordinaire.
		Although we curtailed some of our Yom Ha'atzmaut programming (specifically the barbeque at the Tayelet) in order to avoid crowds, our students spent their morning baking for Chayalim and watching the annual Chidon HaTanakh.

		There are beautiful and meaningful Yom HaShoah observances across the world; music and candles and speakers and silence combine to remind us of the destruction and of those destroyed.
		The most meaningful thing I ever heard in years of Yom HaShoah services and other observances was a brief speech by a survivor who is also an artist.
		Let us light candles to remember and remind; let us hear the music of resistance and comfort; let us speak the words and let us be silent together in the face of such vastness.

		The purpose of this lesson is to examine numerous Biblical and Talmudic texts that imply that the modern settlement of the Land of Israel and the establishment of the State of Israel were part of a Divinely ordained plan to begin the redemption of the Jewish people.
		This would mean that Yom Ha'atzmaut, the day the State of Israel was established, has major religious significance to the Jewish people.
		This lesson will try to show that it behooves us to offer praise and thanks God for the establishment of the State of Israel.
