Temple Beth Shalom of the West Valley's Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) program will be from 3-4:30 p.m. April 24 at the Temple, 12202 N. 101st Ave. in Sun City. 

 

Members of the public are invited to attend this solemn program. 

​

Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, is observed as Israel's day of commemoration of the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust by Nazi Germany and its collaborators, and for the Jewish resistance in that period.

 

Rabbi Dana Evan Kaplan will lead the program and Cantor Baruch Koritan will sing. Featured speaker will be Nancy Urbach, whose grandfather went to Germany and rescued 200 relatives and friends from the Nazis. In addition, four members of the TBS congregation whose parents were Holocaust survivors will speak briefly. West Valley ministers and rabbis also will offer prayers and statements.
