Come remember and reflect with us at our community’s Yom HaShoah gathering

What do our painful memories as a community compel us to do at this time of new war in Europe? What are the moral dilemmas and historical ironies we face? What are the differences and similarities of our Jewish experiences then and now? What is to be done going forward?
