Yom Hashoah

Join us at Temple Beth El on Yom Hashoah for a moving and educational experience as we engage in the Butterfly Project — a call to action through education, the arts, and the creation of memorials. It teaches social justice through Holocaust lessons, educating participants about the dangers of hate and intolerance to foster empathy and social responsibility.

On Sunday, May 5 at 10:00 AM, we will begin with a candlelighting ceremony, followed by brunch (co-sponsored by the Men’s Club) featuring remarks from Rabbi Alan Bell. We will then participate in the Butterfly Project, painting ceramic butterflies which will be displayed at Temple Beth El as symbols of resilience and hope. In this way, we will remember the 1.5 million children who lost their lives during the Holocaust, commemorate the 6 million who perished, and honor all Holocaust survivors. Before the event, we will have a minyan at 9:00 AM.

Suggested donation: $18 per person

Join us to honor the victims of the Holocaust and commit to fighting against hate and intolerance in our world today. We look forward to seeing you at our Temple Beth El!
