7:00 PM: Yom HaShoah Commemoration, Beth El Synagogue
Minnesota and the Dakotas Holocaust Remembrance Day Commemoration. All are welcome to this free and public service. Please register to attend.

Additional opportunity available:
6:00 PM: Zikaron BaSalon, Beth El Synagogue
Zikaron BaSalon is a tradition started in Israel in 2011 – a way to commemorate the Holocaust in more intimate gatherings, taking place every year in thousands of private living rooms and public settings. In small groups, you will hear from a child or grandchild of a survivor to remember the Holocaust and the valuable lessons we’ve learned from it. Please register to attend Zikaron BaSalon by April 9 to allow us to plan how many speakers will be needed. If Zikaron BaSalon tickets are sold out and you’d like to inquire if open spots are available, please email meira@minndakjcrc.org.

REGISTER TO ATTEND

There will be ticket options for both the main commemoration service at 7:00 pm and the additional program offered at 6:00 pm, immediately prior to the commemoration service, called Zikaron BaSalon. Both are free and open to the public with registration.

The Yom HaShoah Commemoration is co-sponsored by the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of Minnesota and the Dakotas, Children of Holocaust Survivors Association in Minnesota (CHAIM), Beth El Synagogue, the Minneapolis Jewish Federation, the Jewish Federation of Greater St. Paul, Generations After MN, and the Micki and Mort Naiman Holocaust Education Fund.
