This past Yom HaShoah, Heichal talmidim and faculty were privileged to hear from Holocaust survivor, Marlit Wendel, as she shared her harrowing experiences during the war, which resonated deeply with the young men. Following her talk, a selection of talmidim and rebbeim who are descendants of survivors shared their own personal family stories, further enriching the day of remembrance. In light of the resurgence of antisemitism around the world, the commemoration of the experiences during the Shoah carried even greater significance, serving as a stark reminder of the persistence of antisemitism and the unique form of hatred that applies to the Jewish nation throughout time. Following the presentations, the talmidim viewed first-hand accounts from Holocaust survivors, which was particularly meaningful after seeing the events of October 7 and the convulsions of antisemitism in cities and college campuses throughout the world since then. The program concluded with a moment of silence observed by the entire yeshiva as the siren sounded in Israel, followed by the recitation of Tehillim. The commemoration served not only as a day of remembrance but also as a call to action against the antisemitism that threatens our community daily. The significance of the day was palpable to all in attendance.
