Iyar and Holocaust Memorial Day a new look at pain hope and sanctification of Hashem
Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz
Although the month of Iyar may seem quieter than the powerful days of Nisan, it becomes a meaningful setting for Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz’s reflections on pain, healing and historical memory. Posted on Holocaust Memorial Day, the lesson naturally touches the themes of loss and resilience that shape the Jewish heart. Rabbi Breitowitz explains how this time of year sharpens our sensitivity to redemption, responsibility and the way we relate to each other. Through that lens, the ideas of gratitude, compassion and true sanctification of God’s name take on an even deeper meaning.
