For Holocaust Remembrance Day, Koolulam invited 600 Holocaust survivors, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to sing together in a special project of Beit Avi Chai and Zikaron baSalon in a most exciting and unique singing event called Koolulam Remembers.
The Holocaust survivors and their families participated in the event at Beit Avi Chai and sang one of the Hebrew songs that most symbolizes the life, joy, and hope of those who survived the Holocaust - Ofra Haza's Live.
I embedded the video at the top of the website page.

Thank you.

Educational Resources for Passover

Hi Everyone!

Passover is a Jewish holiday, of Biblical origin, marking the birth of the Jews as a people and their emergence as a unique
nation in history, devoted to G-d's will. It celebrates the liberation of the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt
over 3000 years ago, under the leadership of Moses.

This year, Passover begins on Friday night, March 30, 2018.

In which Hebrew month is Passover celebrated ?
Why do we eat matzah during Passover ?
