April 2023 marks the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising which was the biggest armed act of Jewish resistance during WWII and the first uprising that occurred in a city in occupied Europe.
May we join together as a community to observe Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day and to pay tribute to this important anniversary.
The ceremony will include a candle lighting, music, readings and prayers to commemorate the six million Jews who perished in the Shoah and honor the survivors living in our communities. Among our special guests will be Archbishop Nelson J. Perez, Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Let us never forget.
