Sharing Light For Remembrance

We light the Shoah Yellow Candle^TM at sundown on Wednesday, April 23, 2025.

The Shoah Yellow Candle^TM is a mechanism for families to gather for a moment to teach and to explain to our children and grandchildren the impact and the survival of that horrific moment in Jewish history.

The Yellow Candle reminds us of the Yellow Star that Jews were forced to wear to identify them as Jews and open them to ridicule and persecution. On the night of Yom HaShoah the candles are lit in homes across the globe to shine a light of memory, a light of education, and a light that we will never forget.

Just as we light a Yahrzeit Candle to burn for 24 hours to remember a dear one who is no longer with us on the anniversary of their death, so too, once a year, we light a Yellow Shoah candle to burn 24 hours to remember our Six Million brothers and sisters who died because they were Jewish. Please consider making a donation for a candle to be sent to your home.
