SIX Million Buttons 

 

This past year one of our congregants, Eynat Katz,  visited a number of Jewish Day Schools in Mexico City. Students at Colegio Hebreo Tarbut decided that in preparation for their March of the Living journey they want to collectively work on a meaningful project. They are currently inviting all schools and the Jewish communities at large, to help in the collection of “Six Million Buttons”   ONE BUTTON = HONORS AN IDENTITY

 

Please look at this most powerful 2 minute video clip they just translated into English https://youtu.be/Uk2HAaIvYMo

We invite you all to help our friends collect buttons – through your children's schools, work place, individually, and/or as a family. On April 25th we will be collecting all the buttons in preparation for taking them with us to Poland. On Yom Hashoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day -  March of the Living participants from all 52 United States and many other countries will come together with Holocaust survivors and educators to participate in a 3 kilometer March from Auschwitz to Birkenau as a silent tribute and memorial for victims of the Shoah. The collection of buttons will be recorded and once the installation is completed by the students from Mexico City it will be shared with all.

Buttons may be dropped off at our Passover/Yizkor service on April 27th at Leo Baeck or alternatively, contact Eynat Katz to make other arrangements.
