that's sad. 9 of Av marks the biggest pogrom ever. Josefus Flavius quotes 2 million Jews killed in a two-week timeframe and rivers of blood washing through the streets of Jerusalem, this is not just "some silly religious day because a building was destroyed". I wonder if people will give the same "respect" to yom hashoa in 100 or 1000 years... well, this has gone very off topic... -- A world of pain Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
