I would just like to remind everyone that Yom Ha'Utzmaoot (Israeli
Independence Day), an extremly important day in Judaism, is on
Monday.

Out of curiousity, I would like to hear what different people do on this
day. Personally, I say Hallel WITH a brocha. ( I just heard that some
people even say 'SheHechiunu'. A Rabbi in Israel replied when asked
why he says 'Shehechiunu' : "I say 'Shehechiunu' when I buy underwear;
on the day when Hashem gave back Eretz Yisrael to the Jews after 2000 
years, I won't say it??????!!!!!!)

If there are any skeptical people out there ("Why should I say Hallel?"),
I have two things to say to you : 1) I have a desk full of books that
support me 100%  2) You have a lot to learn.

Any one who doesn't see the Nissim that are occuring and occured in
Israel in the past 36 years are either blind fools or 'Choser Emunah'
or both.

I have Mukorot (sources) in the Moken Avraham, Chatam Sofer, Mesechet
Mekilah and more. If I see a lot of interest, I'll post a shiur.


	Chag Sameach,
