On the date of May 1st 2011, Sha'ar Hashamayim will be hosting a march for Yom HaShoa (Day of Holocaust Remembrance). During this event we would meet in the center of Sharon, in a place that would be convenient for all. We will announce that place soon. Then we will march to the gazebo on the lake. We will wear t-shirts and carry banners en route. This march is not for the purpose of protesting. We are marching to attest. Once at the gazebo there will be a time where we would honor Holocaust survivors and their families. During the rally there would be speakers from the community, Pastors, Rabbis, Holocaust survivors and maybe a politician or two. We would also have Israeli and Jewish music for all to dance and rejoice to. We would invite all who would like to come from the community. I am guessing there could be as many as 200 people. This march will be open to all. After the event people could linger at the beach area and have picnic lunches getting to know one another in the spirit of community. That night we would host a concert on behalf of the survivors and their families at one of the local Churches or Synagogues. We would also use the evening event to raise money for the Holocaust memorial. At the end of the concert we would have an oneg for all to share. This march is being held all over the world and we are just one link in the chain. Here are the websites to the march. They will tell you more about this world wide movement to put feet on the ground to make "Never Again" more than just a cliche or expression. http://www.marchoflife.org/http://www.marchofremembrance.org/.
This event is a tremendous opportunity to be a testimony to the Jewish people in our community and declare to our sphere of influence that we support Israel. More detailed info is to come real soon. Look for updates on our web site. We hope you will decide to join us in support of Israel the Jewish people and Holocaust survivors all over the world. It is my prayer you will even decide to get involved in the work of this event.
