Hitkansut: A Yom HaShoah Gathering (in person and online) 

April 15, 2026    
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Wednesday, April 15, 7:00-8:30pm

Join us for an evening of ritual remembrance as we lift up the Holocaust narratives connected to TBZ and others. As the generation of Holocaust survivors passes, we must find new, meaningful ways to commemorate the Shoah. The Hartman Institute in Israel developed Hitkansut, a ceremony of remembrance. Similar to the Passover seder, Hitkansut is guided by a haggadah which weaves together texts, testimonies, discussions, prayer, and moments of silence to which participants are invited to contribute their own voices. This event is open to all, and if you would like to include your family’s holocaust story, contact Rav Tiferet.
