Dear Fellow Congregants,

By now, you should have received in the mail a Yom HaShoah Yahrzeit Candle from the Congregation Beth Emeth Men’s Club.

We ask that you join us on the evening of Saturday, April 10, 2010, Erev Yom HaShoah, by lighting the Yellow Candle and reciting the meditation below.  As part of the worldwide Jewish community, it is our collective obligation to honor and remember the Six Million who perished in the Holocaust.

We also hope you will join us for a truly remarkable Yom HaShoah program at Beth Emeth on Sunday, April 11 at 4:30 PM. We will view the film Paper Clips and discuss it with CBE members who are part of the Second Generation of Holocaust survivors. Click here for more information about this important event.

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

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.

Sincerely,

Marty Zelman

Yom HaShoah Program Coordinator

Yom HaShoah Meditation

The Blessing of the Yellow Candle

Evening of Saturday, April 10, 2010

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.
