Yom HaShoah Observance

Rabbi Charlene brings her experience and sensitivity as the daughter of two survivors to a morning of readings and wonderful music.

The events of the past six months bring even more attention to Yom HaShoah. It is an important moment in history for all of us to share while many are experiencing so many emotions.
