Yom HaShoah is officially known as Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day and will take place this Monday, April 20 at 7:00 pm. As the name suggests, it is a day dedicated to memorial and somber reflection in recognition of the millions of lives lost under Nazi persecution. Having just completed Passover, the timing of Yom HaShoah is a constant reminder about the importance of maintaining resistance despite circumstances which make it nearly impossible to do so.
This communal observance will include Temple Adath Israel, Beth David Reform Congregation & Har Zion Temple.
We will be joined by Rebecca Erbelding, historian, curator and archivist at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and author of
Rescue Board: The Untold Story of America’s Efforts to Save the Jews of Europe.
If you are a survivor or the child or family of survivors and would like to participate virtually in the lighting of the candelabra in memory of the 6 million at the conclusion of our service, please contact Rabbi Straus, dstraus@mlrt.org
Please be with us in solidarity and community during our Zoom program Monday, April 20 at 7:00 pm.
This is a sacred and sanctified observance. It is our one opportunity to bear witness to history, and to give testimony that we will never forget.
We are grateful to Suzanne and Norman Cohn and their family for the annual support of this most important commemoration.
