Quoting Nadav Har'El, from the post of Wed, 17 Mar: > > What's wrong with Yom Haazmaut being on Monday? Nothing really... Except > that it makes Yom Hazikkaron on Sunday, which in turn makes the "Erev > Yom Hazikkaron" on Motsei Shabat. This in turn, supposedly, means that
after years of debating whether it makes ANY sense to bunch memorial day and independence day (I fealt rediculous and bad one year walking around town on memorial day buying meat and booze for the party on ID eve), the best solution they could find is move ID rather than memorial alone? I mean, ID's date has a meaning, memorial day can be a week before and holocaust day should be on Tisha b'av, where tradition had it for milenea. We must be the only stupid country in the world to annualy change the date of it's birth. Why celebrate it at all? :-/ most rediculous thing I have heard in years... > So teach your children: Yom Haazmaut is rarely in He Be-Iyyar. Might as well move it to kaf-tet of November :-)))) If ever there was proof that Israel is a theocracy rather than a democracy, this is it. Religion just stepped over one of the central civilian symbols of the country.
