Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for those of us who registered to join us for this year’s Family Friendly Yom HaShoah commemoration. It truly means a lot to have a community that shows up to remember, reflect, and honor together.

After thoughtful conversations with our board, community members, a security team, and the Holocaust Museum Boston, we’ve made the difficult decision to pull out of this year’s event. Given the current climate and concerns around safety, we don’t feel we can provide the level of care and security our community deserves.

We know how meaningful this day is, and we still want to offer ways for you to participate in remembering and honoring the Holocaust in a way that's comfortable for you. 

• IAC and Tzofim will continue to hold their event with enhanced security. Please feel free to join them on Sunday if you choose - you must re-register at https://iac360.org/iac-events/boswalk/  Questions? ssadeattia@israeliamerican.org

• Consider attending the Greater Boston commemoration at 60 State Street on Sunday - registration at https://jcrcboston.org/events/yom-hashoah-2026/

We are so grateful to have you as part of our community and appreciate your understanding. We remain committed to honoring our families’ stories and keeping their memories alive in meaningful ways. We hope to see you at an event soon!
