Minnesota and the Dakotas Yom HaShoah Commemoration

April 13 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Minnesota and the Dakotas Yom HaShoah Commemoration

Monday, April 13, 2026 | 26 Nisan 5786 | 7:00 PM

Minnesota and the Dakotas Holocaust Remembrance Day Commemoration at Mount Zion Temple, St. Paul, 1300 Summit Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55105.

Immigration and the American refugee experience are deeply intertwined with the Jewish values of freedom and welcoming the stranger. This theme is particularly poignant during Yom HaShoah, as it reflects on the historical context of welcoming refugees and the ongoing challenges faced by immigrants today.
 
The impact of these experiences and the challenges faced by Holocaust survivors who immigrated only a generation or two ago are part of the fabric of the local survivor and descendant community. This year’s keynote speakers, Adela Peskorz and Ben Cohen will reflect on their family members’ memories of survival and immigration.
 
The community commemoration will include the presentation of the Leo Weiss Courage to Teach Award to Monica David, English teacher at Breck Middle School.

All are welcome to this free and public service. Registration is required. Please leave bags at home and arrive early for entry and check-in.
