‘YOM HASHOAH’ – HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY
During the month of April this year and the first day of May, three very important days are commemorated by Jewish people in Israel and throughout the world. The three days are ‘Yom HaShoah’, ‘Yom HaZikaron’, and ‘Yom Ha’Atzmaut’.
On Saturday, 7 October 2023, the Nation of Israel, while observing the Shabbat and celebrating the joyous day of ‘Simchat Torah’, was treacherously attacked by Hamas from the Gaza Strip.
More than 1,200 Jewish citizens, mostly civilians, were brutally murdered, including women and children and 260 teenagers at a music festival.
Around 250 men, women, the elderly and children were taken hostage, and a number of hostages are still held captive in Gaza.
