The Spirit that Sparks Your Heart
June 1, 2011- TCS # 252
So, A couple weeks ago I was watching Glenn Beck and he was talking about his trip to Israel before things started happening there. Anyway, He said something that caught my attention that I didn’t even know was possible. You See, There is a holiday in Israel called Holocaust Remembrance Day(or Ha Shoah in Hebrew). It’s equivalent to our Memorial Day. But, there is something about this “Memorial Day” in Israel that amazes me. at exactly 11:00 AM, the sirens go off all across The Country and Everyone in the ENTIRE COUNTRY stops what their doing, stands at position, and for 2 Minutes reflects on The Holocaust and whatever you feel like. After 2 Minutes, The Sirens stop and the people continue on with their daily lives. The amazing part of it is that People even stop in middle of The Highway. Yes, Even in Major Cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on MAJOR HIGHWAYS. Now, Imagine if that could happen here in The US, it would take hours or days to get people moving again. Not Only that but, a huge amount of accidents. But, on the other hand it would really be amazing to see all of America do that. Back to Israel, It’s amazing that the whole country goes quiet and stops (except for the sirens, of course). but, it’s what it means and what people do that amaze me. All in all, Maybe The US should take note to what their doing.
Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. We need stop and Reflect on our lives like they do in Israel.
