Yom HaShoah Commemoration
April 27 at 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM
Please join us at The Zekelman Holocaust Center for a commemoration featuring stirring readings, music and a candle-lighting ceremony. Rabbi Blair Nosanwisch and Hazzan Daniel Gross of Adat Shalom will lead this year’s candle-lighting and commemoration.
Holocaust survivors from our local communities will be joined by their friends, children, and grandchildren to light memorial candles. Poems and musical performances will help express communal grief for the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
Following the event, all who wish to light a memorial candle are invited to do so at the Center’s Eternal Flame.
Registration is not required to attend. Free admission and valet parking will be available.
