SUMMARY:Yom Hazikaron Commemoration Event
DESCRIPTION:Israeli Memorial Day Commemoration for the Greater Ann Arbor Community\nיוֹם הַזִּכָּרוֹן Yom HaZikaron\nPlease wear white shirts\nCeremony will be followed by a song circle \nThis year\, our Yom HaZikaron ceremony carries a broader meaning.\nWe gather — as we do every year — to honor the memory of Israel’s fallen\nsoldiers and the victims of terror. But this year\, we also turn our gaze to\nJewish communities around the world\, where Jews have been targeted and killed\nsimply for being Jewish. Sydney\, Washington DC\, Manchester. Their names and\nstories belong in our circle of memory too.\nAs a diaspora community\, we know that the fate of the Jewish people is shared\n— across borders\, across languages and across generations.\nWe invite you to share these stories in our ceremony and commemorate a victim\nof violence against Jews worldwide — whether they fell in Israel’s wars\, were\nkilled in a terror attack\, or were taken by antisemitic violence anywhere in\nthe world. https://forms.office.com/r/7Ku0EdHig6 \nOrganized by: Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/14224
