Dear Rabbi or Cantor,
Thank you for your interest. The Remember Us Project is a free and voluntary program that supports and empowers children in their encounter with the Holocaust.
We invite each child who is preparing for bar/bat mitzvah to remember one child who was lost in the Holocaust before having the opportunity to be called to the Torah, and to act in his/her name.
Participation is very simple. (This is an invitation, not a curriculum.) It does not add any time to the student’s or the teacher’s schedule.
Your student chooses how to remember. In the program materials we offer suggestsions about doing mitzvot in the name of the remembered children, speaking about him/her from the bimah, etc.
More than 8,500 children at over 400 congregations of all denominations have participted to date.
- To have your students participate in the Remember Us Project, please contact our Outreach Coordinator, Cynthia Calmenson, remember@sonic.net. We can either:
- provide names for you to give to the children, or
- send informational material so that an interested family can request a name through our web site.
- Articles written about the Project
- Stories told to us by participating children and families
- FAQs
- Executive summary of our strategic plan
