Shoah Yellow Candle Packing: Sunday, March 14, 2027, from 8:30 to 10:45 a.m. Help pack candles for hand-delivery or mailing to all Beth Sholom Congregation members. The yellow candle reminds us of the yellow star that Jews were forced to wear, identifying them as Jews, and opening them to ridicule and persecution. Each candle features the name, date, and location of a child Holocaust victim, along with a Meditation to offer a prayer in their memory. We light the candle on Yom HaShoah, the evening of Monday, May 3, 2027, to remember the six million who were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators, solely for being Jewish, and to remind us to always stand up in the face of persecution and antisemitism. Volunteers are encouraged, though not required, to deliver approximately 18 candles to congregant residences in our neighborhoods before March 31. We welcome all congregants and their children or grandchildren to participate in packing or delivering the candles.
