[VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE] This year we have the unique confluence of Taanis Esther occurring before Parshas Zachor. Grasping the significant symbolism of this year’s calendar – Dr. Joseph Geliebter, founder of the acclaimed Yizkereim annual program, has seized this meaningful occasion and developed a special program for shuls across the country, which is co-sponsored by Agudath Israel of America, National Council of Young Israel and the Orthodox Union.
Today, as part of the Zachor . . Lo Tishkach!” Program, shuls across the country will be showing “Strike on Heaven” – the newest 35-minute Yizkereim documentary produced jointly by Torah Umesorah’s Zechor Yemos Olam program and Rabbi Leib Geliebter Memorial Foundation. This highly compelling and poignant documentary, written and narrated by Rabbi Shmuel Yaakov Klein, Director of Zechor Yemos Olam, was recently shown in 350 schools on Asara B’Teves. “Strike on Heaven” exposes the Third Reich’s war on yiddishkeit and powerfully showcases the Jewish people’s unwavering commitment to Torah. The film ends on an uplifting note with the rebuilding of Yiddishkeit around the world and in Eretz Yisrael.

Taanis Esther being observed prior to Parshas Zochor, is the absolute LEAST unique scenario. We are just having this sequence for the 4th time in 5 years, and it is the most frequent way of the current Jewish calendar occuring, [i.e. Taanis Esther on shabbos being Mukdom 2 days] and occurs almost 33% of the time.
this is fundamentally wrong by evidence that the nazis didnt kill the jews only mitzad haneshomo but mainly even if someone didnt didnt identify as a jew and only had a jewish father or the like they said that makes u a jew and we need to get rid of u it was less abstract and more existential
