The planned Community Observance of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Memorial Day, at Temple Israel of Manchester, originally scheduled for Sunday evening, April 15th at 7:00 p.m. has been postponed due to the threatening weather.  The event will take place next Sunday evening, April 22nd, at 7:00 p.m.

The weather forecast calls for mixed precipitation, rain, sleet, snow, high winds, and possible power outages due to a massive storm hitting the east coast this evening.  Because of the weather, the guest speaker canceled her appearance and the planning committee decided to reschedule to the following week.  That evening, April 22nd, is observed in many places as Israel's Memorial Day, Yom HaZikaron, on which those who have fallen in the various wars of Israel and in the terrorist attacks upon the state are memorialized each year.  It seems appropriate to  remember the victims of the Holocaust that night along with those who have fallen in defense of the Jewish State.

The rescheduled event will once again be open to the public and all are encouraged to participate.
