I beg to differ with Rabbi Deri. It is totally NOT true that we don't mourn during the month of Nissan. From the second day of Pesach until Lag B'Omer we observe the mourning period during Sfirat Ha'Omer, commemorating the deaths of the students of Rabbi Akiva. We don't shave, don't listen to music, get married, etc. There is certainly a level of public mourning during these weeks leading up to Lag B'Omer. Surely Rabbi Deri knows this; I don't understand how he could have made such an obvious mistake. The shoah is a painful, devastating period of Jewish History. Rabbi Deri is unfortunately wearing his political Yarmulke, and so makes such divisive comments. Rabbi Deri's remarks do not bring Jews closer together; it would have been better for klal yisroel had Rabbi Deri said nothing.
