Yom HaShoah 2014

By -
Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) 2014 begins in the evening of Sunday, April 27and ends in the evening of Monday, April 28. It marks the anniversary of the Jewish uprising in the Warsaw ghetto.

During the month of April you might like to consider watching movies that depict life for European Jews during the Holocaust. Unfortunately, most movies are not suitable for young family members.

One movie of particular interest since my grandfather came from the Ukraine is No Place on Earth, the story of 38 Ukrainian Jews who survived in a cave 70 feet underground for 511 days. This is a documentary of an American cave explorer who seeks to understands the mystery of his findings in a cave half way around the world, only to find the answer is back on his continent. 


Here are some lists of other movies that may be of interest:

The 10 best from Haaretz

Amazon's top 15 for high school students

Online clips of interviews with Survivors

If you watch one not listed here, please comment to share your review.

On Any Given Sunday...The Common Thread

Tikvah Rabah began quilting for Holocaust survivors just about 3 years ago. In looking back, there have been a few bumps in the road and we've learned a lot: a lot about sewing, quilting, fabric, best practices for efficiency, consistency and TEAMWORK! On any given Sunday we meet we have about 20 or so people with a variety of skill sets. Some have been lifelong seamstresses and quilters while others are just beginning their journey into sewing. On any given Sunday we meet we have 3 generations of people. Women, men and teens. Some have been coming since the beginning while others are new to the fold. The common thread between these people is an intense, unyielding passion and love for these precious people we serve and The G-d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. And then, there's Yeshua. We desire to serve Him with our hands. The Ruach is ever present washing over these quilts with LOVE and He breathes life in us as we serve! Here's a few of the quilts we'
