Jewish Culture - Modern Israeli Holidays (7b of 22 sessions)

The modern state of Israel has created three holidays that many Jews elsewhere observe - Yom Ha-Shoah v'ha-Gevurah (Day of Holocaust and Heroism), Yom Ha-Zikaron (Israeli Memorial Day) and Yom Ha-Atsmaut (Israeli Independence Day). How influential are these holidays today, and what do they reveal about the benefits and challenges to creating new holidays?
