Yom HaShoah Candle
Yom HaShoah – Day of Remembrance
Another time, another place, it could have been us!
The twenty-seventh day of Nisan (in 2025 the candle lighting is April 23rd) is the day on which Jews throughout the world recall the six million Jews of Europe who were tortured and murdered during the Holocaust. This date was chosen for Yom HaShoah by the Israeli Knesset because it falls between the outbreak of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and Israel's Independence Day. On this day, we recall the splendor of the lives of the European Jews. There is no adequate reaction to the Holocaust, but WE must NEVER FORGET its victims or their message to us.
The Brotherhood of TCS's Holocaust Memorial and Education Endowment Fund (HMEEF) is sending this Memorial (Yahrzeit) candle to YOU. Through our Holocaust education programs we hope to enlighten our congregation, especially our religious school children, to what happened and to help them become citizens who would never allow this to happen again. We commit ourselves to the responsibility for one another, to build on this earth a world that has no room for hatred, bigotry, or violence.

Light your memorial candle on Wednesday evening April 23rd
A meditation before candle lighting
We light memorial candles in memory of our martyred six million. As we light
this candle, we commit ourselves to the responsibility for one another, to build
on this earth a world that has no room for hatred, bigotry, or violence.
Together, we pray for the strength to fulfill this vision.
Light candle, then say Kaddish:
