70 for 70 Project

January 2015 will be seventy years since the liberation of Auschwitz. Seventy years is a long time and time has a way of diminishing impact. However, that very same element can be used to strengthen us. A program is being held worldwide for 70 days, one day per year, to remember the 6 million victims in a positive manner that brings their memory to life – elevating their souls and our own.

January 25, 2015 will see the launch of 70 Days for 70 Years with a program that runs through April 4, 2015 – the 1st Seder night. The project includes a new book, memorial card, website, events and activities across the globe. The book contains 70 thought-provoking questions, ideas, stories and articles that provide an entry point to issues crucial to our religion and people. Every participant will receive a card with the name and bio (where available) of a Holocaust victim whom they will be learning in memory of, obtained from Yad Vashem.
