Please light a FJMC/MRJ Yom HaShoah Yellow Candle on the evening of April 11, erev Yom HaShoah. If you do not have a Yellow Candle, light a yahrzeit candle. If you can light your Yellow Candle while on Facebook Live to share the powerful message of the Yellow Candle.

These meditations can be recited as you light the candle:

I
As I light this Yellow Candle on Yom HaShoah, I vow never to forget the lives of men, women and children who have perished in genocides over the millennia. Their lives were taken in cruelty. Their memories are symbolized by this flame. May we be inspired to learn more about our brothers and sisters as individuals and as communities, to recall their memory throughout the year, so that they will not suffer a double death. May we recall not only the terror of their deaths, but also the splendor of their lives. May the memory of their lives inspire us to hallow our own lives and to live meaningful lives, so that we may help to ensure that part of who they were shall endure always.


II
I light this Yellow Candle in remembrance of the six million Jews which were killed in the Holocaust. But there were millions more who perished: Poles, Belarusian Slavs, Serbs, Disabled, Romani, Jehovah Witnesses, Homosexuals and others. We as a people said “Never Again” but the unfortunate reality is that not enough of us remembered, and so the Holocaust of World War II was followed by the Killing Fields of Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, Darfur, Syria and Rohingya, just to name a few. Unfortunately, our voices were not loud enough. May the Six Million who lost their lives to intolerance and hate and the millions of others, through these years, not be forgotten! And may our voices, and the light of these candles, have an impact in the years head.

III
We light this Yellow Candle to rekindle God's flame,
To shine His light upon the world once again,
To sanctify the memories of the millions of lost souls,
To honor their prayers and all their lost goals.
We bless their existence by being alive
To light this Yellow Candle as proof we survived.
