Photos a salute to Holocaust victims
Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Yom HaShoah in Hebrew, tomorrow pays tribute to the 6 million Jews killed in German concentration camps more than 60 years ago. It also happens to be one of the days when photos are being taken for Temple Emanu-El of Honolulu's 50th Anniversary Commemorative Pictorial Directory. The date of the photo shoot was approved only after a lot of reflection by Rabbi Peter Schaktman. Initially, he thought, "No, that is not a day on which Jewish families should be smiling for the camera. That would not do justice to the millions who lost their lives to the Nazis, and to their children and grandchildren," Schaktman wrote in the temple newsletter.

"I stopped and thought again. And what I realized is that there could be no greater tribute to those who lost their lives, and no greater repudiation of their murderers, than the celebration of Jewish survival and Jewish continuity represented by these photographs. Indeed, every Jewish face that is captured by the camera and every Jewish family that appears in this ‘snapshot' of our temple community is a statement of our people's triumph over those who sought to bring a fiery end to Am Yisrael (the people of Israel). … "(It's) a way of affirming life on this day on which we recall the death that was the result of unspeakable evil." Yom HaShoah — "shoah" means catastrophe or destruction in Hebrew — refers to the atrocities committed by the Nazi Party in imposing a doctrine of racial superiority during World War II. It is held on the 27th day of the Jewish month of Nissan, which falls on May 1 this year. Established officially by the Israel's parliament in 1951, the occasion is usually observed at ceremonies with the lighting of six candles to represent the 6 million killed and Holocaust survivors sharing their experiences or participating in readings, prayers and singing. Yom HaShoah will be observed at Temple Emanu-El's Sunday school and acknowledged at the regular Shabbat service Friday evening. The origins of the temple date back to 1938 when 35 Oahu families formed the Hawaii Jewish community. Today its membership consists of 230 families. The temple on Pali Highway in Nuuanu was built about 50 years ago. The commemorative album will be published later this year, Schaktman said.

TAKE IT SERIOUSLY
EVERYONE at "The Biblical Christian Digital Network" takes News seriously. You should to. Serious enough to realize that ALL NEWS and ALL NEWS SERVICES are biased and opionated. That is a fact; that will not change no matter where you get your news or read it from.
IT IS INHERENTLY OPINIONATED.
This is News for some but there is no such thing as Fair and Balanced or Fact news.
When human beings are involved it means we all see things differently at times. News outside of America admits it is biased; News in America in the last 75 years has tried to "market" the idea of "journalistic integrity" when since before America became a nation it has been the venue of News to express opinion. Often as in media, owned and operated by "Newsservices" for political reason.
It is up to you what you see; what you hear and what you understand.
The Only Facts For a Christian is The Word of God.
You control what you see; Be Carful how you read a story. You control what you hear; Be careful what and who you are listening to. You control what you understand; be mindful of God to direct your understanding.
In all things remember; you control how you act upon them; don't react to them.
"Take Everything to the Lord in Prayer; then leave it there."
