Temple Beth Abraham's mission is to provide our congregants with opportunities to create meaningful connections to

God, Torah, the Jewish People and the surrounding Community.

We remember, with love, the Six Million whose lives were taken during the Holocaust.

We also remember, with love, those who were taken from our midst this week in years past and

commemorate the anniversaries of their passing.

TBA Yom HaShoah Service with Guest Speaker Ellen Kaidanow

Wednesday, May 1 at 7:30pm

Join us as we gather to remember those who perished in

the Holocaust and hear stories from those who survived.

Ellen Kaidanow, our guest speaker, is the daughter-in-law

of two Holocaust survivors. She shares the story of her

mother-in-law (also Ellen) and her miraculous tale of

becoming the sole survivor in her family at the age of six.

Ellen wants to honor and help others of all religions have

a personal connection to the Holocaust so they become

witnesses. Most important, she wants to influence others to be

“upstanders,” not bystanders.

The service will include a memorial candle lighting and is appropriate

for children aged 8 and up. Members and guests are urged to attend.
