Yom HaShoah: what happens
Set by the Knesset in 1951, the day remembers the six million Jews murdered in the Shoah, on the 27th of Nisan, a week after the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. The date is moved earlier or later when it falls close to Shabbat.
In Israel a siren sounds at ten in the morning and everything stops for two minutes; places of entertainment are closed. Outside Israel, communities and institutions hold ceremonies.
What people do
- Two minutes of silence at the sound of the siren, in Israel.
- Lighting a memorial candle and saying Kaddish for those with no grave.
- Attending memorial ceremonies.
For a halakhic ruling, ask your rabbi.
