Jews celebrate Victory Day twice

For the second year, Russian-speaking Jews celebrate Victory Day twice: according to the Gregorian and Jewish calendars.

In New York, 15 in May at the Urbo Club in the Times-Sver. The American and World Russian-speaking Jewry forums are hosting a reception in honor of World War II veterans living in recent years in the United States.

The date was not chosen by chance: according to the Jewish calendar, this is the 26 day of the month of Iyar. In 1945, 26 Iyar fell right on May 9, that is, those who live according to the Jewish calendar, it is from this day that the end of the terrible war is connected.

Someone, perhaps, the movement of the memorable date on the usual calendar will seem weird. But if we recall that Christian Easter or Pancake Day are also celebrated not on the strictly fixed days of the Gregorian calendar, this, it seems, will help to accept the idea of ​​the existence of a different chronology.

Last year, 26 Iyar became the official date of the Jewish calendar as the Day of Liberation and Salvation of European Jewry. Then it was first celebrated in the Israeli parliament in Jerusalem and in UN Headquarters in New York.

The initiative to establish a new date came from Russia - from German Zakharyayev, a prominent Jewish philanthropist, president of the International Charitable Foundation for the Preservation of the Culture and Traditions of Mountain Jews, and Vice-President of the Russian Jewish Congress.

The main meaning of 26 Iyar is not to let the world forget about how terrible evil was fascism and who defeated this evil, not to let those people who freed the world from the plague of Nazism at the cost of their lives.

If not for this Victory, our people would have ceased to exist, they would have been completely destroyed in the gas chambers of the Third Reich, German Zakharyaev is convinced. — The main meaning of Iyar 26 is not to let the world forget about what a terrible evil fascism was and who defeated this evil, not to let it forget those people who, at the cost of their lives, freed the world from the plague of Nazism. A little more time will pass and, unfortunately, the last generations who remember the war will pass away. For our children and grandchildren, the Great Patriotic War will become just history. But we have no right to forget either those who, armed with pseudoscientific theories, destroyed our people, or those who freed our people from the threat of imminent death.

The initiative of Zakharyaev was supported by the main rabbis of Israel. They decided which additional prayers should be read in the synagogues on this day.

Thus, this year the circle celebrating this date will expand. In the synagogues they will thank, praise and glorify the Creator for defeating the forces of Nazism on this day and thus the Jewish people were saved from total annihilation, and also to praise the liberators of the Red Army and allied armies.

In May, events dedicated to the Day of Salvation and Liberation will be held in Russia, Israel, the United States and France, where the Conference of European Rabbis will be held on this day. The rabbis will gather in Toulouse on May 12 to discuss the next steps to perpetuate this date.

In addition to religious events in the Jewish communities of the world, exhibitions, gala receptions, festivals, and scientific conferences will be held.
