We invite everyone to make a special effort to attend this Friday evening’s Shabbat service. Tenth-grade students from Greenport High School will join us on Zoom to talk about their history class unit on the Holocaust, and also the field trip they are taking this Wednesday to the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center in Glen Cove. Surely the museum trip will provide a revealing conclusion
​​​​​​​to the lessons learned.

Many of you will recall last year’s visit by then-10th graders, and how insightfully they spoke to what they had learned about antisemitism and the destructiveness of hate. The back-and-forth between the students and our congregants was a moving experience for all.

Please join us this Friday, April 19, at 7:30 p.m., in the sanctuary or on Zoom, for our regular Shabbat service, and to welcome GHS sophomores willing to share their perspectives on this dark period in history.

I remind you that on Sunday, May 5, our shul will join with several other synagogues on the twin forks to observe Yom Ha Shoah with our Yellow Candles. Your contributions to the Yellow Candle Project will be donated to Greenport High School to help underwrite the cost of transportation to the museum. I feel certain that come Friday night, and our visit with the students, you will agree that contributions to the Yellow Candle Project yield many positive dividends.
