At SPS each year, to commemorate Yom Ha’shoah, we light six yahrzeit candles, to remember the 6 million Jews who died during the Holocaust in World War 2. We also hold a short service, which includes the mourner’s Kaddish as well as a memorial prayer. Our custom is to invite a Holocaust survivor, or a member of their family, to talk to us about their experiences. What they went through creates a lasting impression on all who hear them.
