In honor of Yom HaShoah, Tenafly Chabad Academy organized a powerful program to remember the atrocities of the Holocaust and honor the victims and survivors. Students gathered in the shul and some shared stories of their grandparents and great-grandparents who survived the Holocaust.

The program included a variety of activities to engage and educate the students. Some students read poetry in Hebrew related to the Holocaust, while others shared personal stories of Jews who did not survive. Through these stories, the students gained a deeper understanding of the impact that the Holocaust had on the Jewish community.

One of the highlights of the event was a video featuring a survivor of the Holocaust, who shared her experiences and reflections on the importance of remembering the past. This survivor’s firsthand account provided a powerful and emotional perspective that helped the students understand the human impact of the Holocaust.

The program concluded with a moving rendition of the song “Ani Maamin,” which served as a symbol of hope and resilience in the face of tragedy. The entire event was an inspiring and thought-provoking experience for the students, as they reflected on the hardships endured by their ancestors and the importance of never forgetting the lessons of the past.
