As the fragile window of witness closes, here is a new way to commemorate the Holocaust.
Light from the Darkness does the things the survivors have always asked of us: to tell the story, remember, and learn the lessons. This short and empowering guided experience is filled with song, story, ritual, and remembrance, drawing strength from darkness and turning it into action.
In Light from the Darkness, the lessons of the Holocaust reinforce the core values of Judaism: remember the evil that we have experienced and make sure that no one ever has to experience such evil again, but always celebrate life and your Jewish faith.
