Attendees will come together in music, prayer and a candle lighting ceremony to commemorate those who perished in the Shoah. All are welcome. Visit 3GDC for more information.
Once We Were Home book discussion with author Jennifer Rosner
Join us Thursday, April 20, 7:30 PM for a conversation with Jennifer Rosner, author of Once We Were Home, which is based on the true stories of children stolen in the wake of World War II. Once We Were Home raises questions of complicity and responsibility, belonging and identity, good intentions and unforeseen consequences, as it confronts what it really means to find home.
Unto Every Person There is a Name, the annual reading of Shoah victims’ names, co-sponsored by B’nai B’rith International and the JCRC. Names will be read by elected officials from the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia and students from local Jewish Day Schools. Information for listening to the readings will available at a later date.
Zikaron BaSalon, literally meaning "remembrance in the living room" in Hebrew, is an idea born out of the understanding that modern society’s connection with the memory of the Holocaust is significantly deteriorating. Alongside formal events, Zikaron BaSalon offers a meaningful and intimate way to commemorate this day and address its implications through discussions at home among family, friends, and guests. We invite you to take part in the commemoration by hosting or participating in a gathering of Zikaron BaSalon. Contact Adam Odesser for additional information.
Dor L’Dor, Connecting Our Youth with Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants. In collaboration with synagogues throughout greater Washington, the JCRC offers intimate opportunities for our Jewish students to hear from and speak with Holocaust survivors and their descendants around the week of Yom HaSHoah. Contact Sara Winkelman for more information.
