Yom HaShoah Service

Special Guest: Rachel Stern

Every year, Jewish Center of the Hamptons joins with congregations around the world to commemorate Yom HaShoah. We began many years ago joining with B’nai B’rith International in a ceremony of reading the names of those who perished in the Shoah. In its inception, it was brought to us by one of our congregants, Sam Latner z”l. The next chairperson was Dr. Alan York z”l and after his death Charlotte Sasso took over as chairperson of this very important ceremony.

May their memories forever be for a blessing.
