Today marks Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day. Together, we commemorate the six million Jews killed during the Holocaust, honor the survivors, and pay tribute to the many who demonstrated courage and resilience in the face of extreme horror.
At a time of increased antisemitism in our community and across the country, Yom HaShoah reminds us of our crucial responsibility to continue to confront and combat hatred in all forms. Learn more about Federation’s efforts to do so here, and join our partners at JCRC this Sunday, April 23rd, at 1:00 PM for a poignant and meaningful tribute that brings together our entire community.
