The Ridgefield Clergy Association (RCA) invites the entire community to participate in a Holocaust Remembrance Service - Yom HaShoah - Sunday, April 23, at 6:30 p.m. at St. Stephen’s Church, 351 Main St.
Yom HaShoah (Hebrew for “Remembrance Day for the Holocaust and Heroism”) marks an observance by Jews all over the world and has been a national holiday in Israel since 1951. Under the leadership of Rabbi David Reiner (pictured) and Cantor Deborah Katchko-Gray, both of Congregation Shir Shalom in Ridgefield, the RCA-sponsored service will include prayers, readings, and music related to the Holocaust. The 40-minute service will remember the six million Jews and five million others who were killed under the Nazi regime with a memorial candle lighting.
