Community Gathers to Commemorate Yom Hashoah
The Heschel community gathered to commemorate Yom HaShoah at the Holocaust Commemoration Committee’s annual program. Ayelet and Ilan Richter shared their grandparents' remarkable stories of survival during the Holocaust, with a moderated conversation by Ariela Dubler. The program also included a meaningful performance of Inscription of Hope by members of Heschel’s four choirs, including parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and students.
