The Nine Days of ‘We’: Yom Hashoah, Yom Hazikaron & Yom Ha’atzmaut

In this thought-provoking video (04:42), Avram Infeld suggests a unique way of understanding the process the nation goes through between Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), Yom Hazikaron (Memorial Day), and Yom Ha’atzmaut (Independence Day). Dubbing this period “The Nine Days of We,” Infeld compares the personal spiritual process of the “Ten Days of Awe” between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to this period of national grieving, gratitude and unity for Jews in Israel and abroad. Avram Infeld is an innovative Jewish educator who focuses on strengthening Jewish identity and the State of Israel through cultivating a love of the Hebrew language, the Land of Israel, Jewish values, religion and community.
