Getzel – I can’t believe you’d even consider comparing mizrachi to reform. I have never met any frum person who believes that yom haatzmaut is more holy than yom kippur (and I probably know many more mizrachi Jews than you do). Granted, yom hazikaron was established by the secular zionists, but there’s a problem if that fact impedes you from giving even minimal respect to the day considering that the large majority of Israel recognizes it as a memorial day for the fallen soldiers and terror victims. How could you possibly not take a moment to respect and remember those who gave their lives for Eretz Yisrael and those who died al kiddush Hashem?
