Answer
Answered by Aaron AbadiIf they were observant Jews, they would ask a qualified Rabbi...>> HA -- Now the egg is all over your face, and the yolk is dripping down into your bead! (And I hasten to add that I say this with respect so you don't spend the first half of your reply kvetching about rudeness and all the big respect you're entitled to) Anyway, did you forget that lots and lots have qualified rabbi have already weighed in on the question? And many have said - surprise!! - that it is ok to celebrate yom haatzmaut, that it is ok, to say hallel, and that it is ok to think of the state as a good and important thing. So MISTER AA according to your own criteria (ask a qualified rabbi) yom haatzmaut celebrations are FINE!!! haHA! A gleeful man >
