Don't you think that the Holocaust has became a business?
ReplyDeleteMoreover, what is the more important: to turn the page and build our future or to constantly look behind and mourn the past? What I mean is that many Jews sum up Yiddishkeit to their connection with the Holocaust, and forget what yiddishkeit is all about: to be b'simchah, building the futur, serving G-d (Avodas Hashem) and making our world a dira b'tachtonim (a dwelling for G-d). What will give more nachas to the victims: doing another mitzvah on their behalf or commemorate their torture?
There is a sicha on Parshas Lekh Lekha where the Rebbe explains that after the world was destroyed by the Flood, the survivors, instead of doing teshuvah, built a tower in rebellion against Hashem's Kingship. They didn't learn their lesson.
So too, the survivors of the recent "flood" (what people call the Holocaust/Shoah) should not follow the example of those who built the tower. Their first priority should have been to raise their spiritual level. Instead they built a tower to perpetuate their name, a tower which had no other purpose than being as high as possible.
So, despite the worthy intentions of the founders of Holocaust museums, monuments etc., the proper emphasis should be on building the Jewish people up spiritually, for that alone will truly ensure our survival.

ReplyDeleteIndeed, I do think that the Holocaust has become a business. Just look at Eli Wiesel and how he is marketing himself. I think this is terrible putting oneself so much into a center in order to gain attention.
And look at the Holocaust Museum YAD VASHEM receiving Christian donations. In my opinion, haredi society does it right: Commemorating the victims of the Holocaust on Asarah be'Tevet.
Shabbat Shalom
Here in the USA we deal with the tamei who deny the Holocaust even happened. Most of the time we are insulted and verbally attacked by those who say it never happened. NOT KIDDING. Here in USA anti-Semitisim is rampant. Cannot say is just because of the tamei who are current leadership. Is an onging problem. Has been for years. Just getting worse.
