    7. What Yom HaZikaron Is Really Asking of Us
    Apr 21 2026

    Recorded on ערב יום הזיכרון, standing in the חלקה הצבאית of כפר עציון, Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David reflect on what it means to stand among קדושים who gave everything for עם ישראל. Through the lens of חז״ל, the story of לוליאנוס ופפוס, and the halachic depth of מסירות נפש, a different picture of Yom HaZikaron begins to emerge.

    This isn’t only a day of grief. It’s a day of gratitude. A day of clarity. And maybe most of all, a day that asks a question we can’t run from:

    What are we doing with the lives they gave us?
