remember the 17th day of Shevat. This day, which is January 27 on western
calendar is one of days of yom hashoah or "days of remembrance." It
isn't a holiday, but it is a holy day and commemorates </span><b><u><span style="color: #4489e3; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">International Holocaust Remembrance Day</span></u></b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">, said International Business Times on Jan. 27.

Day, on the 27th of Nissan (April to May in the Western calendar). January 27
is the day the world remembers (or should) when it stood by while millions
died--Pole, Slav, Catholic, Russian, red, disabled, dissident, gypsy, gay, and
many, many Jewish--in the World War II Nazi genocide. The theme for

Speak out, whether you identify with those you are speaking out for or not.
Don't stand by because an injury to one is an injury to all, says the union
slogan. On Jewish Holocaust Memorial Day and all year long, fight against acts
of anti-semitism, anti-life, anti-humanity. Don't stand by and let a great
injury be repeated. Talk about it and educate yourself. Holocaust Memorial Day

Holocaust Memorial Museum</span></b></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> offers ways to share stories online and in person. Oral
tradition is a time-honored way of preserving memories. Don't stand by and let
the flame die. On Yom Hashoah, let the the voices of the dead speak. Most
everything that remained of those horrible days are gone. Many holocaust
survivors have passed on. But memory is enduring voice, if it's not shushed.

were. Don't stand by and let them be forgotten.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Don't
stand by--watch movies and read books for Jewish Holocaust Memorial Day.
"Sarah's Key" is a translation of "Elle S'appellait Sarah"
by Tatiana de Rosenay. It tells of a little girl taken in the Jewish Vel' D'hiv
roundup in France and the journalist who uncovers her story. Read or watch
"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"--that will put a face on Holocaust
for you. Or how about "The Book Thief?" Children can watch this one
and empathize. Don't stand by--teach your children that untold numbers of other
children perished in the Nazi holocaust and stories like this are their voice.
For a non-fiction Yom Hashoah read, try "Night" by Elie Weisel. But
be prepared to be haunted for the rest of your life. Read Viktor Frankel's
"Man's Search for Meaning" for a Holocaust Remembrance Day you'll
never forget.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It has nothing in common with romance as we know it. But Valentine's story is spiritually romantic. Valentinius was a Roman Christian priest. In those days, this was not popular. In fact, it was illegal.<br />
<br />
Then Emperor Claudius II decided he'd make marriage illegal too--so men would give up women go fight his battles. Not exactly an even quid pro quo. Valentine understood human nature better and performed underground marriages to keep people from burning in lust. And was jailed for his pains.<br />
<br />
He wrote notes of encouragement to his fellow incarcerated and signed them "Your Valentine." There grew the card-sending tradition. Valentine was martyred on Feb. 14. It became a Holy Day -- holiday.<br />
<br />
Predictably, we now ignore the spiritual bits of the story for the commercial. True, it's based on legend, but most stories of antiquity are oral tradition. I like it better than flowers and candy. If you do too, here are Catholic St. Valentine activities and lessons. I don't get anything from sharing these sites except a warm, fuzzy feeling.<br />

I'll end as our saint wrote in his valentines. "Be of good cheer. Don't lose hope. Your Valentine Mar." (Very loosely translated from the Latin).<br />

The Chinese New Year begins in on February 8, 2016. The beginning date for Chinese New Year varies from late January to mid February on the western calendar. 2016 celebrates Chinese New Year of the Monkey (or KangXi). Each of the 12 years in the Chinese zodiac is represented by a different animal and the calendar repeats every 12 years. It was Chinese New Year of the Monkey in 2004 and will be again in 2028. CNY kicks off the Spring Festival in China and ends with the Lantern Festival, a quaint, charming holiday. <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/free-printable-chinese-new-year-spring-festival-lantern-festival-lesson-plans">Free printable Chinese New Year, Spring Festival, Lantern Festival lesson plans</a></div>
