Each year every congregant family receives in the mail a Yom HaShoah Yahrzeit Candle from the Congregation Beth Emeth Men’s Club. This candle is meant to be lit on Yom HaShoah, which is in the Spring. This page will be updated for 2012 dates, however we welcome your support of this program at any time.

As part of the worldwide Jewish community, it is our collective obligation to honor and remember the Six Million who perished in the Holocaust.

If you would like, please make a contribution now to the CBE Men’s Club Yom HaShoah Program to support this effort. Use the online form below to select a contribution amount and you will be billed on your next statement from the synagogue, or download the form to send or bring to CBE with your donation.

Through your generosity, we will continue to purchase and mail candles each and every year. Net proceeds received from the Yom HaShoah Candle Program will be used to fund Holocaust and other related programming and study in both the religious school and the synagogue.

Thank you to those who volunteer their time to help pack and mail candles. You are truly appreciated.

Yom HaShoah Meditation

The Blessing of the Yellow Candle

As I light this Yellow Candle, I vow never to forget the lives of the Jewish men, women and children who are symbolized by this flame. They were tortured and brutalized by human beings who acted like beasts; their lives taken in cruelty. May we be inspired to learn more about our six million brothers and sisters as individuals and as communities and to recall their memories throughout the year. May we recall not only the terror of their deaths, but also the splendor of their lives. May the memory of their lives inspire us to hallow our own lives and to live meaningful Jewish lives so that we may help to insure that part of who they were shall endure always.

-- Rabbi Jules Harlow
