#5175 – Kristallnacht Clear?
Q. Dear Rov. Some members of my family keep in their shul the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the "Night of Broken Glass" on Nov 10. They have invited me to attend with them. Is there an issue in Halacha on going?


A. Kristallnacht is the anniversary of the "Night of Broken Glass" that took place on November 9–10, 1938.
As P.M. Netanyahu recently mentioned: “It was a Nazi pogrom that marked a turning point in the escalating persecution of Jews that eventually led to the murder of 6 million European Jews by the Nazis and their supporters during the Holocaust.”

Poskim don’t mention much of this anniversary in Halacha. Yet the reality is that in many Yeshivot and Kolelelim it isn’t kept and no restrictions are placed on performing Semachos as weddings etc. in these days. It also does not usually have those restrictions in non- religious institutions.

Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Yaakov Hirschman, Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller, Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu and Horav Kalman Ochs Shlit'a.
