At Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust. This year, even the ceremony at @yadvashem was pre-recorded due to ongoing threats from contemporary enemies of the Jewish people. Memory is not in the past. It is a here and now. #NeverForget 🕯️

After this week’s tragic occurrence in Jerusalem, we want to make sure every parent and caregiver knows what to do if faced with a similar situation.

In this video, a first responder demonstrates the critical steps to take if a baby becomes unresponsive and stops breathing.

This knowledge can save a life.
Please watch, learn, and share because being prepared matters.

🇮🇱 It's a shame that moments like these don't make the headlines, but this is the true story of Israel.

I recently had the privilege of honoring our United Hatzalah Arab volunteers, both Muslim and Christian, brave EMTs who race to save both Jewish and Arab lives, each and every single day.

Thank you friend & supporter Amb. @GreenblattJD, one of the architects of the Abraham Accords, for joining us and reminding us how impactful we can be when we work together. @UnitedHatzalah isn’t only about saving lives — it’s about being United for Lives.

What will Jews in New York City & around the work talk about around the Shabbat tables this weekend? Here are some thoughts about the victory of mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani? https://t.co/XG0nrwpIo5

[Jerusalem News Syndicate @JNS_org]

OPINION | Just five days before the 87th anniversary of the two‐day pogrom on German and Austrian Jews and Jewish communities, known as Kristallnacht (Nov. 9-10, 1938), an eerily familiar feeling is being felt by the American Jewish consciousness following the disturbing election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani as mayor-elect of New York City. This sentiment begs the question: What’s going to be with the Jews?

.YV's Richelle Budd Caplan's #MyHolocaustHero is Holocaust survivor David Frankel's mother, Leah. Despite the atrocities that surrounded her in Bergen Belsen, Leah helped feed many babies by sharing the extra breast milk she had.

Watch David talk about his mothers heroism.

[Yad Vashem @yadvashem]

Righteous Among the Nations Irena Sendler is @LanaMelman's #MyHolocaustHero. Risking her own life, Sendler arranged to smuggle out many Jewish babies from the Warsaw ghetto, finding them non-Jewish homes to rescue them.
