Wouk war and remembrance6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() When the Torah was given at Sinai, the narrative describes the awesome sounds that coincided with The Revelation (Exodus 19:19): But I would like to explore some of the similarities of the themes of the two holidays and why it is fitting to celebrate both holidays together. And I do not plan on trademarking the name “Shavumorial” as the Gitells did. Now this is not as big of a coincidence as Thanksgiving and Channukah falling out together. This weekend we are encountering a similar, but more common, convergence of holidays, namely Shavuot and Memorial Day, which occur during the same weekend. It was only a decade ago when we were all excited about the rare convergence of the holidays of Chanukah and Thanksgiving, which many referred to as “Thanksgivukkah.” According to Wikipedia, the term “Thanksgivukkah” was trademarked by Dana Gitell, a Boston-area resident along with her sister-in-law, Deborah Gitell. ![]()
