EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP - The Mitzvah Zecher Avot Service (The Good Deed of Remembering Family) will be held 11 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 28 at the Holocaust survivors section at the Rodef Sholom Cemetery, 6691 Black Horse Pike in Egg Harbor Township.
This service is designed for Holocaust survivors and their families who represent the generations born after the Holocaust. As the number of survivors declines, this yearly tradition provides a vital opportunity to remember their immense contributions to both the Jewish and general communities in southern New Jersey.
The names of Holocaust survivors will be read at the ceremony.
The event is free and open to the public, but RSVP is required by contacting Stockton’s Sara and Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center at 609-652-4699 or emailing [email protected].
A virtual Zoom option is available, please contact the Holocaust center for the link. Should inclement weather occur, the service will be held completely on Zoom.
