The
Bielski Brothers story will be told in the upcoming movie
"Defiance." Watch the trailer below:
Yom Hashoa, or Holocaust
Remembrance Day, is the day set aside to remember the six
million Jews that perished in the Holocaust. ...
Kol Israel remembers this day every year by hosting a special
program.
This past year the story of the Bielski Brothers was told. Zvi
Bielski told the story of his father and his Uncles, three
brothers who defied the Nazis. Together they built a village in
the forest and saved 1200 Jewish lives.
Over two hundred of our community members attended this years
Yom Hashoa program to pay their respects to the Jewish lives
lost in the Holocaust.
Rabbi Besser started the evening by leading our community teens
in lighting six memorial candles, each candle representing one
million lost Jews.
Chucky Erani followed with a speech detailing
his trip to Poland and how it had a tremendous impact on his
life.
A film was shown on the story of the Bielski Brothers followed
by a question and answer session with Zvi Bielski.
A special thanks:
Joe Dweck for his time and effort he put into this years
program.
Rabbi Harari for always making sure this program happens every
year.
