	MyJewishLearning.com - Holidays: Yom Hazikaron
		Yom Hazikaron, the Israeli Memorial Day, is different in its character and mood from the American Memorial Day.
		The inevitable tendency of radio and television programs is to focus on individual stories of soldiers who lost their lives in recent decades, rather than on those who fought in the pre-state undergrounds and 1948 war, who have fewer surviving immediate family relatives today.
		Yom Hazikaron is not conceived as a religious commemoration by the majority of Israelis, but as part of the civil culture.

		Yom Hazikaron is observed on the 4th of the month of Iyar of the Hebrew calendar.

	Rosh Hashanah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some midrashic descriptions depict God as sitting upon a throne, while books containing the deeds of all humanity are opened for review, and each person passing in front of Him for evaluation of his or her deeds.
		It is written in the Talmud, in the tractate on Rosh Hashanah that three books of account are opened on Rosh ha-Shanah, wherein the fate of the wicked, the righteous, and those of an intermediate class are recorded.
		The zodiac sign of the balance for Tishri is claimed to indicate the scales of judgment, balancing the meritorious against the wicked acts of the person judged.

	UJA-Federation of New York: Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzma'ut (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Yom HaZikaron is intensely sad and somber, marked by loved ones and friends visiting the graves of the fallen soldiers, as well as by special ceremonies in the Knesset (Israeli parliament), schools, and elsewhere.
		Some synagogues and other Jewish institutions in America and elsewhere observe Yom HaZikaron through a special commemorative program, the saying of Kaddish (the memorial prayer) for the fallen, or by a speaker, series of readings, film, or other means.
		In most synagogues in both the Diaspora and Israel, Yom HaAtzma'ut thus is celebrated with the chanting of Hallel, a series of psalms (113-118) praising and offering thanksgiving to God, and the omission of Tachanun, a prayer of contrition and mourning.

		Yom Hazikaron is Israel's Memorial Day for its fallen soldiers.
		The date chosen for Yom Hazikaron was 4 Iyar, the day before Israel's national independence day.
		Some Israelis found it awkward to put a sad day next to a celebratory holiday, but by doing so the government made it clear: without the soldiers who gave their lives, there would be no Israeli independence to celebrate.

	Yom Hazikaron Ceremony from WUJS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Yom HaZikaron, the Day of Remembrance for those who fell in the struggle for the establishment of the State of Israel and in its defense, is marked during the 24 hours preceding Yom Ha'atzma'ut (Israel's Independence Day).
		Ending at sundown, the somber, reflective mood of Yom HaZikaron gives way to the celebration of Yom Ha'atzma'ut, a transition which emphasizes the lasting tie between the sacrifice of the country's fallen and the continued existence of a vibrant and dynamic State of Israel.
		In Israel, as Yom HaZikaron draws to a close, a central torch-lighting ceremony takes place on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, the burial place of Theodor Herzl, the visionary of the State of Israel, and of Israel's leaders and fallen soldiers.

	Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzmaut
		Yom HaZikaron, Israel's Memorial Day, is a day to remember those who have lost their lives fighting for the State of Israel.
		Originally designed to remember those who fell in the struggle for the establishment of the State of Israel, and in its early defense, Yom HaZikaron has been expanded to include those who have continued to defend Israel as well as civilians killed by terror attacks.
		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 Hazikaron (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The term "Yom Hazikaron" originates in another name for Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the Jewish year marked by repentance, fasting and prayer.
		As each individual reviews his or her own deeds, the community is engaged in an act of collective remembrance, hoping also to be inscribed for a good year in the year to come.
		The ceremonies are simple on the eve of Yom Hazikaron and are not forgotten as we conclude the day the following night and merge into the festivities of Yom Ha'atzma'ut.

		Year after year on Yom Ha'atzmaut (The Day of Independence), together as a worldwide community, we commemorate Israel's Independence, a modern miracle that was thought impossible just 100 years ago.
		It is for that reason that each year we observe Yom Hazikaron (The Day of Remembrance) on the day preceding Yom Ha'atzmaut.
		For Jews worldwide, Yom Hazikaron is the day that we stop and remember all of the Jewish soldiers, the brave men and women, who gave their lives so that the Jewish State of Israel could become a reality and remain a free and independent nation.

	March of the Living 2001 -
		`"Being in Israel on Yom Hazikaron and hearing the sirens go off instilled an instant feeling of sadness in me. I never knew the people who died, but I realized all those people were somebody&Mac226;s son or daughter, sister ort brother.
		Yom Hazikaron is the siren that sounds for a solitary minute.
		As we commemorated Yom Hazikaron last night, and heard the siren today, I felt amazed to be in a land where people have such love for their country ?

	Yom Hazikaron - Israeli Memorial Day
		The Israeli Knesset established Iyyar 4, the day before Israel's Independence Day (Yom Ha’atzmaut) as a Memorial Day for soldiers who gave up their lives in battle for the creation and defense of the State of Israel.
		The first siren (in the evening, at 8:00 pm) marks the beginning of Memorial Day and the second (the following morning at 11:00 am) is sounded immediately prior to the public recitation of kaddish in military cemeteries.
		Since the Arab intifada, many Jews have extended Yom Hazikaron to remember not only soldiers who died defending Israel but also security personnel who gave their lives to protecting Israelis from terrorist attacks.

	Yom Ha-Zikaron - Memorial Day
		The Israeli Knesset established the fourth of Iyar, the day preceding Yom Ha-Atzmaut, as a Memorial Day for soldiers who lost their lives in battle for the creation of the State of Israel and all those soldiers who died subsequently defending the State of Israel.
		Perhaps because much of the Israeli population has relatives or close friends who have died defending Israel, Yom Ha-Zikaron is widely observed throughout all sectors of Israel, with the exception of most Arabs (Druze and Beduoin, many of whom have served in the Israeli military, being a notable exception) and non-Zionist haredi Jews.
		Since the second intifada, many have extended Yom Ha-Zikaron to remember not only soldiers who died defending Israel but also security guards through their daily guarding of public buildings, restaurants, and cafes they have given their life to save the lives of those inside due to terrorist attacks.

		This holiday's placement the day before Israel Independence Day (Iyar 5) is intentional: the soldiers who give their lives were directly responsible for the existence of Israel as an independent state.
