Thank you to the over 300 people who were able to join us for our Virtual Yom HaShoah Remembrance & Reflection. A special thank you to Rabbi Marc Baker for leading such a meaningful program and being the voice and presence our community needs right now – bringing us together honor our local Holocaust survivors and pay tribute to the six million Jews who were killed during the Holocaust. We are also grateful to Governor Baker for taking time out of his busy schedule to share an important message of resiliency and solidarity, especially during such challenging times.
