Yom HaShoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day - begins at sundown.
Today and every day, we remember, we grieve, and we recommit ourselves: Never again.
NFTY retweeted
This Yom Hashoah, we remember the six million of our people including 1 million children who perished in the "kingdom of night." We also remember the heroism of Gilbert and Eleanor Kraus who traveled to Germany in the spring of 1939 & rescued 50 children from certain death.
This occurred during a period in which we have witnessed a dramatic rise in hate crimes against Asian-Americans. We continue to call on all elected officials to forcefully denounce these hate crimes & provide resources to stop these bigoted, anti-Asian, & racist attacks. (3/3)
In the aftermath of these horrific attacks that appear to have targeted women of Asian descent, we continue to stand with and pray for the Asian-American and Atlanta communities, especially the families of the victims and all those who suffered trauma. (2/3)

To all transgender, non-binary, genderqueer, and intersex people (especially our beloved @NFTY and Reform Jewish youth) who may feel alone right now:
The Reform Movement sees you, values you, and is committed to protecting your right to live exactly as you are. 5/5
That's why in 2015, @URJorg unanimously passed a historic resolution affirming the rights of transgender and gender non-conforming people - the farthest-reaching transgender rights resolution of any major religious denomination. 4/5 urj.org/what-we-believe/reso…
