Yom Hashoah Service
Monday 17 April, 19:30
Join members of our community, our choir and Rabbi Tanya to mark one of the most tragic days in our history and to honour the memory of the victims and the survivors.
After the service Rabbi Steven Katz will share the very personal story and history of the EHRS Czech scroll, which came from Sobieslav, 40 miles from Prague where his father was rabbi in an orthodox shul. He was very surprised 40 years later when he was reunited with the scroll from that shul. It became the Hendon Reform Czech scroll and made its journey to EHRS when the two communities merged. All Czech scrolls remain the property of the Czech Scrolls Memorial Trust based at Westminster Synagogue
