Not too far in the future, there will no longer be "Holocaust Survivors" alive on earth to tell their stories. It will be left to the next generation to tell the story in their own manner. Many young Israelis have been experimenting with new, alternative Holocaust memorial services, which to the older generation seem highly non-traditional, and even at times offensive, yet they nevertheless are sincere attempts to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive, and make its message relevant to the younger generation. This year, Grammy award winning Israeli violinist Miri Ben-Ari and Israeli rap/hip-hop star Kobi "Subliminal" Shimoni have co-produced a hip-hop music video expressing their sentiments on the Shoah. It is called "God Almighty When Will it End." I have pasted the "YouTube.com" link below for you to watch it. Before you click and watch, just a few words. Prepare yourselves to see something that is quite non--traditional and that expresses the Shoah in ways that we have never seen before. I am sure that some of you, at first sight and sound, may even find it disturbing. You should know, however, that in Israel, this CD/Video was distributed by the thousands to students in schools, by recommendation, approval and blessing of -- amongst others -- Professor Yehuda Bauer (Israel's leading historian on the Holocaust) and Rabbi Benny Lau (son of Holocaust survivor and former Israeli Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau). As highly traditional people, they both praised this genuine effort make the message of the Holocaust relevant to a disconnected younger generation. In one way or the other, may the memory of the Six Million always remain alive in our hearts and souls, Amen. Rabbi Daniel Bouskila, Sephardic Temple Tifereth Israel. (5:06) Click here for video.
