“It is compelling for us to not only remember the Holocaust, but to understand its causes and its lessons. And while I have always tried to teach and emphasize the joy and gift of being Jewish, the reality is that our people have experienced every kind of hatred and intolerance throughout history,” states Rabbi David Greenberg. “But from it all, we have emerged with a vision of making our world a kinder and better place for all humanity.”

The Holocaust remembrance program Includes:

  • March 6 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. -- Opening program at the Temple with guest speaker, Paul Galan, a survivor of the Holocaust and the Co-President of the Holocaust Museum talking about his compelling personal story. 
  • April 10 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. -- This event starts with a visit the newly renovated museum for a tour, which will be followed by lunch and discussion with Holocaust survivors.
  • April 18 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. -- This program will be held at the Temple and will feature a one- man performance dealing not only with the Holocaust, but with contemporary issues of intolerance, bigotry, and ways in which we can each play an important role in combating some of this evil.
  • May 2 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. --  Our annual Yom HaShoah service features music from the Temple's adult and junior choirs, a special candle light procession, and a special guest speaker.
