A Message from Rabbi Bellows

April 20, 2025 /22 Nisan 5785 

Dear Beth Am Friends,

In the coming weeks, we will observe Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. The internationally recognized date corresponds to the 27th day of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar. According to the Museum of Jewish Heritage — A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, Yom HaShoah coincides with the 27th of Nisan (on the Hebrew calendar) to mark the beginning of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943, when Jewish resistance fighters defied the Nazis and fought for freedom and dignity.

May we never forget the atrocities that happened to our people, and may we remember the people of the Warsaw Ghetto and all who continue to fight courageously against hatred and antisemitism.

Please join me on April 23rd, 2025, for our community Yom HaShoah remembrance at 7:00 pm at Beth Judea.

With Blessings,

Rabbi Bellows
