Remember.

The background of today's image is the New York Times May 7 1943 report of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

The Jewish holiday of Yom HaShoah ( Holocaust Martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Day) is a national day of commemoration in Israel, on which the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and the Jewish resistance to the Nazis are memorialized.

In Israel, it is a national memorial day. On the evening which begins the observance, there is a state ceremony at the Holocaust Martyrs and Heroes Authority, Yad Vashem. At 10AM on the day of Yom HaShoah, air-raid sirens are sounded and people across the country stop what they are doing and stand at attention in respect of the fallen. Places of public entertainment are closed and flags on public buildings are flown at half mast.

The original proposal was to hold Yom HaShoah on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Nisan, the date of the Warsaw ghetto uprising (April 19, 1943), but this was problematic because the 14th of Nisan is the day immediately before Passover. The date was therefore moved to the 27th of Nisan, which is eight days before Yom Ha'atzma'ut,(Israeli Independence Day)

In 2022 Yom HaShoah begins in the evening of Wednesday, April 27 and ends in the evening of Thursday, April 28.

By Popular Request.

Today's cartoon is a golden oldie. I'm running it in response to requests from readers who suggest that I run it every year. What do you think? Tu BiShvat is the Jewish "New Year" of the trees. On Tu BiShvat we plant trees for future generations. Tu is the number 15 in the biblical numbering system (which uses the letters of the Hebrew Alphabet). Bi is Hebrew for "in". Shvat is the current month in the Hebrew calendar. So Tu BiShvat simply means the "15th of Shvat".
This year,Tu BiShvat starts on the evening of Tuesday January 30 2018, and ends on Wednesday evening January 31.
