As time marches forward, it is our task to remember and teach about the Shoah.
Each year, the FJMC Shoah Yellow Candle™ Program distributes tens of thousands Yellow Candles™ to Men’s Clubs, Brotherhoods and houses of worship to help remember the Holocaust. Florida Region FJMC President Jon Zimmer explains: “Men’s Clubs and other organizations around the world order Yellow Candles™ from the FJMC and distribute them to their membership with a short explanation of the program. On the night of Yom HaShoah, the candles are lit in homes across the globe 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. Learn more about how your Men’s Club, Brotherhood, Synagogue or community organization can get involved in the FJMC Shoah Yellow Candle™ Program at https://yellowcandle.fjmc.org/.
Yom HaShoah begins at sundown Monday April 13, 2026. We encourage Clubs to start planning your programs now. I look forward to working with our clubs and assisting in any way possible. Please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you for all the work you are doing to implement this important program!“
