Slater "YOM HA?SHOAH is a day set aside for Jews to remember the Holocaust and to honor its victims and the heroes who stood up to the atrocities that were perpetrated. Yom Ha'shoah ceremonies include the lighting of candles for Holocaust victims, and listening to the stories of survivors. Religious ceremonies include prayers such as Kaddish for the dead and the El Maleh Rahamim, a memorial prayer. For many Jews, Yom Ha'shoah is one of the most solemn days of the year. This year it begins at sunset on Monday, April 20th and ends, like all traditional Jewish special days, the following evening. During Yom Ha'shoah memorial events are held in many Jewish communities and in Israel national ceremonies are held at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. (Yad Vashem is the Jewish people?s memorial to those who were killed in the Holocaust.) On the morning of Yom Ha'shoah a siren is sounded for 2 minutes throughout Israel and all work and other activity stops while people remember those killed in the Holocaust. Please take a moment during the day tomorrow to learn about the Holocaust and to commit yourself to ensuring that history is never repeated against any people anywhere in the world." E.
