As time marches forward, it is our task to remember and teach about the Shoah. Each year, the Temple Beth Torah Sha’aray Tzedek Men’s Club distributes FJMC Shoah Yellow Candles™ to TBTST members. On the night of Yom HaShoah, the candles are lit to shine a light of memory, a light of education, and a light that we will never forget. By participating in this program, you are helping to keep the memory of the Shoah alive and to remember what could happen if we don’t stand up for ourselves. Yom HaShoah begins at sundown Wednesday April 23, 2025 / 27 Nisan 5785. Please join us in a moment of solidarity for our six million brothers and sisters that were lost in the Shoah.
