Yom HaShoah with the Music of Rabbi Simi Lam

There are two days where the Holocaust is observed, International Holocaust Remembrance Day January 27th of every year and Yom HaShoah. The date of Yom HaShoah is determined by the Hebrew Calendar and generally takes place in April or May of each year.

Yom HaShoah

Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day, is observed by the Jewish community each spring, and is a national memorial day in Israel. The San Antonio Community observes Yom Hashoah at a different San Antonio synagogue every year. This observance uses Jewish traditions to remember the victims of the Holocaust, we invite all San Antonio Community members to join in remembering those whose lives were lost during the Holocaust.
