Teaneck—The Jewish Community Council of Greater Teaneck will hold its annual observance of Yom HaShoah on Thursday, April 16th at 7:30 p.m. at Teaneck High School. The keynote speakers this year are Howard and Nancy Kleinberg who first met in Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp where Nancy saved Howard’s life. Their story of their survival and reunion is nothing short of a miracle. For up-to-date information on the event, visit www.teaneckyomhashoa.org. A Pre-Event Reception for Survivors and their families will be held before the event commencing at 6pm. The Committee is seeking six families for “candle lighters” to participate in the program. To qualify as a candle lighter, there must be three living generations (including a survivor) from each family who are willing and able to participate in the ceremony on stage.
