Thank you for all those that participated last night in the Holocaust Remembrance Day Proclamation evening. We heard from the Child Holocaust Survivor Alex Buckman tell his difficult story which is very important for our community to hear so that we never forget.

As per Alex's request he wanted us to share his Aunty Becky's Orange Cake recipe.

The full story of Aunt Becky's Gateau à l’Orange can be found on the Vancouver Holocaust Education Center's website
 

I would also like to thank our partners that was part of the evening. The Bayit, VHEC, CIJA, and Federation.

A special thank you to the Bayit for making the evening very special and meaningful.

Thank you to the City of Richmond and Mayor Brodie for declaring every year on January 27 Holocaust Remembrance Day in Richmond.

Mama Belong is a program designed to support and help new and expecting Jewish moms in our community and to connect them with each another and with Jewish traditions. This program is a cooperation between Mamatefet and Belong, a Bayit initiative, two organizations joining forces to recognize and celebrate the addition of a new baby to the family in a giving way. Mama-Belong, together with volunteers from our community will embrace every family who just had a new baby with a meal and a special gift basket.

The meal will be delivered two weeks after the due date unless specified otherwise. 

Currently, deliveries will only be to Vancouver and Richmond families. If you are outside of these cities and are able to arrange pick-up we would be happy to provide you with our services.
