Yom HaShoah Photo Exhibit

April 9 - April 12

In recognition of Yom HaShoah, Beth Emet will host a photographic exhibit from Zachor: The Holocaust Memory Project in the Crown Room, Thursday, April 9 through Sunday, April 12. The exhibit features powerful portraits of Holocaust survivors paired with brief reflections from their lives, preserving their stories and honoring their resilience. The project’s name, Zachor (Hebrew for “remember”) reflects the Jewish responsibility to carry these memories forward and to confront hatred and antisemitism in our own time. Congregants are encouraged to stop by the Crown Room to spend time with these moving images.
On Sunday, April 12, we will have a conversation for adults, including Beit Sefer parents about antisemitism. Rabbi Toby Manewith and Lauren Reeves will talk about the antisemitism that many school-age children are encountering today. We will discuss how parents can respond when their child shares these experiences, ways to support children emotionally, and strategies for communicating effectively with schools when incidents occur. After this conversation, parents along with 5th-7th grade Beit Sefer learners will visit a photo exhibit featuring Holocaust survivors and how their stories implore us to continue combatting hate and injustice.
