On the eve of Yom HaZikaron, Memorial Day, we explore the profound arc of Israel's national remembrance days -- from Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) through Memorial Day, into Yom Ha'atzma'ut (Independence Day), and ending with the quiet, almost unknown commemoration of Theodor Herzl’s yahrzeit. It is an arc of memory, sacrifice, and renewal -- not abstract, but usually personal and intimate -- that lies at the heart of Jewish strength and survival in a dangerous world.--This episode was sponsored by an anonymous sponsor who asked to dedicate it to the memory of those we lost on October 7.--If you like what we do here, please consider joining our Patreon community at https://www.patreon.com/c/AskHavivAnything.
