This year thousands of people from across the Jewish community will be lighting a candle for a named victim who died in the Holocaust. The purpose of this project is to remember individuals whose names would otherwise be lost. The yellow recalls the yellow stars which Jews were forced to wear by the Nazis. Each yellow Yahrzeit candle provided will be accompanied by the name of a person from the Yad Vashem archives. We are asking you to light your candle on Yom HaShoah evening of Wednesday 11th April in memory of the lost generation and, if possible, post a picture on social media. #yellowcandle
Once again Mosaic is supporting the yellow candle project which remembers Holocaust victims. All Mosaic members who would like a candle will be able to access one. We will need help packing the candles on Sunday 11th March behind Kosher Kingdom in the old Homebase building. We would be delighted if anyone could help for however many or few hours you may have available. Please contact Edwin Lucas on Edwin.lucas@ntlworld.com
