We wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year. As we welcome in the secular year 2022, let us wish for an end to the horrors of COVID and a return to a semblance of normalcy. While we have returned to hosting synagogue services every Shabbat, we have had to pause our kiddush lunches due to an upsurge. Because of the uncertainty and the spreading of this latest variant, our Museum will be closed until the first Sunday in February. We are monitoring the situation on a daily basis and are constantly working to protect the health and safety of our congregation, visitors, and staff.
On January 27th we stop and commemorate the International Holocaust Remembrance Day in memory of the loss of European Jewry. The 27th of January was chosen to commemorate the date that the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the Red Army in 1945. The day remembers the killing of 6 million Jews and 11 million others by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. It was designated by United Nations General Assembly resolution 60/7 on November 1, 2005.
