SUMMARY:Yom HaShoah
DESCRIPTION:Known as “Holocaust Remembrance Day” in English\, Yom HaShoah commemorates the lives of the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust between 1933 and 1945. \nIs Yom HaShoah a Public Holiday?\nWhile this is not a public holiday in the United States\, some Jewish-run organizations are closed on this date. \nWhen Is Yom HaShoah?\nYom HaShoa is celebrated on the 27th day of the month of Nisan in the Hebrew calendar\, which usually falls in April or May in the Gregorian calendar. \nRemembrance and Recounting\nJewish communities often organize solemn services\, prayers and vigils on this date. Schools may show films about the Holocaust\, and invite the few remaining living survivors or their descendants to tell their stories of survival to classes. Other Yom HaShoah ceremonies can include readings of the names of victims\, fasting\, and the planting of trees or flowers. \nIn the temples\, a special prayer called Megillat HaShoah is read for the occasion\, and memorial candles are lit while the Kaddish\, a prayer for those who have passed\, is spoken. \nThe Lessons of Hate\nIn 1980\, an act of Congress created the Holocaust Memorial Council\, which today plays a major part in organizing Yom HaShoah observances in the United States. The Holocaust Week of Remembrance occurs from Sunday to Sunday for the week that includes Yom HaShoah. \nThe events during this memorial are designed to remind people of the deadly consequences of allowing bigotry\, hatred\, and indifference to become normalized. During this time\, lectures are given by Holocaust scholars\, student essay competitions and poetry readings are held\, and music composed during the Holocaust is performed. \nNational Day of Mourning\nIn Israel\, Yom HaShoah is considered a national memorial day\, beginning with an evening ceremony at the Yad Vashem monument. \nAt 10 am on the holiday\, air-raid sirens are sounded throughout the country for a national moment of silence. Places of public entertainment are closed and flags on public buildings are flown at half-mast. \nSome students at Jewish schools travel to a special memorial service at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp near Kraków\, Poland on this date. The memorial ceremony held there has become known as “The March of the Living” or “The March of Remembrance and Hope.” \nJewish Holidays Last Longer Outside of Israel\nIn the Jewish diaspora—Jewish communities outside of Israel—an extra day is usually added to religious observances\, with the exception of Yom Kippur\, which lasts only one day worldwide\, and Rosh Hashana\, which is celebrated over two days in both Israel and the diaspora. \nThis custom has its roots in ancient times when the beginning of the months in the Jewish calendar still relied on the sighting of the crescent Moon following a New Moon. \nThe beginning of a new month was determined by the Sanhedrin\, the supreme court of ancient Israel in Jerusalem. Once the date was published\, messengers were dispatched to spread the news among Jews living abroad. Since this process took some time\, it was decreed that Jews outside of ancient Israel were to observe every holiday for two days to make sure the rules and customs applicable to each holiday were observed on the proper date. This rule is still observed today.
