Join us Friday night, January 24th at Shabbat for a poignant and reflective Teen-Led and Family-Friendly Shabbat Service, proudly sponsored by the TST Holocaust Remembrance Committee. This year marks a significant milestone as we honor the 80th Anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. We invite you to stand with us in solidarity during this commemorative service.

We are honored to have Rabbi Sandy Zisser, our Religious School Director, share his deeply personal connection to the Holocaust. Rabbi Sandy is a child of Holocaust survivors; both of his parents, along with three of his four grandparents, endured the horrors of this dark chapter in history. His mother and grandmother faced the horrors of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. At the same time, his father and grandparents found themselves arrested and sent to Siberia, falsely accused of espionage by the Russians at the onset of World War II.

Rabbi Sandy’s family story is one of resilience, an unyielding determination to survive, and a good amount of random luck. As we gather to remember and to learn, Rabbi Sandy’s narrative promises to be a moving testament to the undefeatable spirit of those who survived the Holocaust.

We sincerely hope you will join us for this significant event as we pay tribute to the survivors and remember the victims. Together, let us renew our commitment to never forget, and to ensure such atrocities are never repeated.
