Valentine's Day will be celebrated tomorrow (Friday) around the world and in Israel. This is a day when many couples go out to dinner, offer marriage and celebrate their couples with meals full of hearts, wine, chocolates and the red color.

The holiday, which is very happy to be mentioned in Israel in most restaurants and businesses, raises the question of whether religious and traditional holidays are allowed to be mentioned, in the general atmosphere of love, or because of the Christian origin of the holiday, it is problematic. In a conversation with Rabbi David Fall, chairman of the Zahar Rabbis organization, he completely rejected Israel's holiday mark, and surprisingly - in the Jewish tradition there is no love holiday at all. Yes, not Tu Bab either.

"First you have to say that relationships are something that is invested in all year and not day of year. I always tell men to think when they come to work what they do in the evening in honor of their wife. The same has to be said about Mother's and Father's Day, children should respect their father and mother all The whole year. That's why in the first place the whole one-day grade is wrong. We have to engage in relationships and invest in it all year long and alas if the situation is different. "

And concretely for Valentine's Day? "It is a Christian holiday of Christian culture. Although, today the reasons for the holiday are forgotten and the attitude to most of the world that the holiday is practiced is that 'their fathers are in their hands', that is, it is not a day of idolatry, but it is clear that there is no place for any Israeli, not religious, not Traditional, non-secular to mark this holiday. It is a holiday of a different culture.
