http://marchofremembrance.
Many have expressed a desire to stand with Israel and demonstrate respect and love for her People, as being Am Echad (one people).
A public prayer walk is being organized for May 1st, 2011. Our area has seen a recent display of anti-semetic activity within the last year. if you want to stand for what is good and true in eastern Washington state, subscribe to this event (and invite others) or contact
I realize that this same day also hosts Spokane's Blooms Day event. Many of you will be participating in Blooms Day. After walking Blooms day for the community, rest your legs and walk ONE MORE MILE for the elderly Holocaust Survivors living in Israel. All donations at The March of Remembrance are to benefit Helping Hands Coalition in Israel (www.hhcoalition.com) to help feeding and comforting Holocaust survivors who live in Israel.
WHEN & WHERE - 3PM - 7PM at Manito Park, Spokane, WA on Spokane's South Hill
(NOTE: This event is still being developed. The following may experience some adjustments. PLEASE keep checking back to stay current!)
The Goal:
- To raise awareness and to become more educated about the historical event known as the Holocaust.
- To express love toward the Jewish people and express our support for them.
- To demonstrate an act of love in a day and time when too many seek to demonstrate hate and intolerance.
- To unite with the people of the National March of Remembrance in an effort to break the chain of ignorance and silence regarding hate toward the Jewish people in being a voice of truth, support and love.
How can the South Hill of Spokane participate:
- Walk, pray, and stand with us in the March of Remembrance commemorating Yom Ha Shoah - The Day of Remembrance of the Holocaust.
The Plan:
- To gather at Manito Park on Spokane's South Hill. A silent group prayer walk once around beautiful Manito Park (please call or email for route details)
and will end at the Picnic Shelter near the Grand Ave. entrance. (Walk
begins at 3pm - Picnic Shelter events begin at 4pm)
- Hear music performed by "Shalliach", a local Hebraic Music group. (4pm)
- To gather and listen as we are told about the events of the Holocaust from the perspective of the Jewish people whom have been directly affected by it. (5pm)
- To publicly address todays rising world wide Antisemitism. To not keep silent about misinformation that fuels hatred toward Israel and her people. Publicly communicate that forgetting the atrocities of world history, failing to recognize the symptoms leading to those events, and remaining silent in the face of ignorance and misinformation can only result in future atrocities.
Israel is once again beginning to experience the effects of the short memory of many. It will be up this generation to be a standard bearer and a reminder to the future generations.
PLEASE visit www.marchofremembrance.org for more information. PLEASE also confirm with me through this event page if YOU are led to be a part of this day of solidarity and support with Israel.
Thank you and SHALOM!
