Jewish Federation's Upcoming Event.
We hope you will join us for this year's Every Person Has a Name. During the commemoration ceremony, Congresswoman Judy Chu, LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, State Senator Anthony Portantino and Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek will be present and will speak. In addition, we will also be recognizing our community's Holocaust survivors and the ceremony will also include a performance by our Jewish Youth Orchestra, and prayers from our local clergy.
Immediately following the ceremony, we will begin a 24 hour reading of the names of those who perished during the Holocaust. You are invited to come throughout the day to sit and listen as the names are being read, and view an exhibition on display from Yad Vashem entitled
Shoah: How Was It Humanly Possible. (
The exhibition
is being made possible through the support of PJTC Sisterhood.)
If you are not able to attend the ceremony or reading of names, you can also watch the livestream of it at

"Please help us represent Weizmann at this very important event. The ceremony at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday night is an opportunity to hear meaningful thoughts about the Holocaust from local dignitaries and survivors. The reading of the names will take place from 8:00 p.m. on Saturday until 8:00 p.m. on Sunday. It is a wonderful way for students to begin to get a sense of the enormity of the loss that the Holocaust represents. We hope you can make it for some part of this event!"
