Yellow Candles

Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) begins at sundown April 13 , and ends at nightfall on Tuesday, April 14.

We encourage you to join on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at 1:30pm for Washington D.C. area Annual Community Holocaust commemoration in Fairfax. Information and registration for the in person event is on the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington (JCRC) website: https://www.jcouncil.org/events/yom-hashoah-commemoration

To honor those who perished, we encourage OT members to give tzedakah in the tradition of remembering loved ones on their yahrzeits. Your tzedakah will support survivors in our community and educate OT’s next generation. We will donate part of the net proceeds from the candle distribution to an important Jewish Social Services Agency (JSSA) initiative strongly supported by Rabbis Kalender and Sigal—the JSSA Holocaust Survivors and Family Support program—which provides resources and services for Holocaust survivors living independently in our area. We also will use part of the proceeds to help offset the costs of Shabbat morning youth programming.
