Annual County-wide Yom HaShoah Memorial

The program begins with sounding the Shofar and the reading of the Holocaust Rescued Torahs in Westchester that would have joined the procession and will include remarks, including those of Survivor, Endre (Andy) Sarkany, our Westchester County Executive and representatives of the Westchester Board of Rabbis and Kol Hazzanim.  We are very honored to mention the Holocaust Rescued Torah from Temple Beth El of Northern Westchester in the reading of Holocaust Rescued Torahs by Rabbi Goldsmith.
