Join us for our community's annual candle-lighting ceremony and memorial for those who perished in the Shoah. We honor the importance of each Jewish voice and uplift their stories of hardship, struggle, and survival. It is part of CHAI’s mission, and the mission of the entire Jewish community, to remember these stories, to pass them down, and to say NEVER AGAIN.

This year's Keynote Speaker, Todd Hennessy, is a master educator and facilitator from Echoes and Reflections. Mr. Hennessy is the Co-Director of the Colorado Committee's Yahad-in-Unum organization. He is a former Museum Teacher Fellow with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and a Faculty Fellow with the Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation.
