The Seder Yom HaShoah, patterned on its Pesach namesake, is an experience that integrates the “telling of the story” with prayer, study, poetry, song, and ritual foods to bring us face-to-face and heart-to heart with the tragedy and heroism of the Shoah years. Our Seder Yom HaShoah is a full BDJ-community event, designed and intended for the entire breadth of our community. This year's stories will include those of Hana Wexler's father and Mrs. Lola Sassover. Your participation will directly impact the program's meaning and impact.
