Holocaust Remembrance
The Holocaust Remembrance Committee is dedicated to Holocaust remembrance and education in order to promote tolerance. The committee works closely with the
Temple ’s
Religious
School to develop programs for children and their parents. In its efforts to advance Holocaust teaching, the committee also seeks to build and foster relationships with the larger Jewish and non-Jewish communities and to collaborate with local high schools and institutions such as the
Westchester
Holocaust
Education
Center and the
Simon
Wiesenthal
New York
Tolerance
Center , among others. Each year, HRC organizes the
Temple ’s Yom Hashoah service, seeking always to enhance the ritual with fresh meaning. In addition, HRC continues its work to identify and honor Righteous Gentiles. We encourage all to visit the Holocaust Memorial located on the
Temple grounds in the garden area outside the Sanctuary.
