Many years have passed since the events, and today most of the society in Israel does not mourn the destruction of the Temple, and the fast of T. Bab is observed mainly by observant people.
We are at a crucial moment: what will happen to Holocaust Remembrance Day?
What will the day look like after the last Holocaust survivors close their eyes?
After the destruction of the Temple, the sages of Israel debated the question of what is the proper way for such mourning.
Rabbi Yehoshua ruled: "My son, let me tell you: it is impossible not to mourn at all that a decree has already been decreed, and to mourn too much is impossible, that there is no decree on the public unless the majority of the public can abide by it."
The results of the survey clarify the intensity of danger, the intensity of forgetting and repression.
Many young people do not feel that today is "talking to them";
The sense of alienation is also related to the degree of attitude towards national issues in general.
The memory of the Holocaust is important not only because it is a moral debt to the six million exterminators, but for two main reasons: First, it sharply defines the presence of anti-Semitism in the world.
Let us not think, even for a moment, that the question of hatred of the Jews has passed from the world.
But that is not enough: the memory of the Holocaust is meant to help us establish the "kingdom of the opposite."
A country that has compassion, justice and charity, that reaches out to refugees and refugees.
A country whose leaders do not preach hatred of the other.
The main importance of memory comes even if it is a creative memory.
Passover, Rosh Hashanah and other holidays were privileged to stay with us.
Although many Israelis celebrate them in different ways, the vast majority celebrate the holidays.
I think it happens because these holidays have become family holidays.
Heritage and tradition are not passed on at rallies or ceremonies.
Despite their public importance, heritage and tradition are instilled in the home.
Projects such as living room memory, along with the creation of appropriate texts, are the main way to ensure that Holocaust Remembrance Day in particular, and of Holocaust consciousness in general, become a present factor, causing pain and creativity.
We must not free our young people from the consciousness of the Holocaust and its consequences.
Not just for the sake of the walkers, not just for the honor of the survivors.
For you, young people of Israel, only for your future.
