my cousin did her bat mitzvah interpretation on a Torah segment about this--I wish I remembered which specifically the moral she took out of it was "forget the specific [bad] things that have happened, but hold tight the lessons that came out of them" ceremonies maybe do this?

Same reaction to religious Jewish ceremonies?

I'd have to think about that. Religious ceremonies and rituals I think are a distinct beast. Not quite the same as patriotism of a religious flavor.

Perhaps; I brought up the comparison is intriguing in that the Jews once had an ethnostate and some of the most important ceremonies they have relate to gaining and losing it. Perhaps ceremonies bind best in exile.
