Yom HaShoah Display

Please come to Congregation Beth Hallel’s MJCC, which will be transformed into a display portraying the tragedy of the Holocaust.  The display is open from Thursday, April 8 through Saturday, April 17 from 10AM till 5PM daily.  You will be moved while experiencing a small taste of what life was like in the camps and see authentic World War II items.  The time to walk through the display varies based on an individual’s pace, but generally takes between 30-45 minutes to go through.  Due to the nature of the material, parental discretion is advised. The display is not recommended for children under 10.

Special Speaker, Holocaust Survivor, Rose Price

On Yom HaShoah, Sunday, April 11, Holocaust survivor Rose Price will be speaking in person twice, once at 4PM and once at 7PM.   Plan to come early or stay after hearing Rose to view the holocaust display held at the same location.

Rose Price was born of Orthodox Jewish parents in Poland.  As a small child she tasted deeply of the persecution that the Jewish people have endured down through the ages.  Rose, along with the millions of Jews living in Europe personally entered into a dark time in human history known as the “Holocaust.”   A time when a man named Hitler who, inspired by Satan, set his face to destroy the entire Jewish race.

During the horror of World War II, Rose spent five years in concentration camps, narrowly escaping death time after time from the hand of her tormentors.  Her entire family except for her sister and aunt, never came out of the death camps.  But out of the smoldering ruins of Europe, G-d brought forth smoldering remnants of human life, and one of these firebrands was Rose.

After immigrating to the United States, Rose met and married Charlie Price and settled in Philadelphia to raise a family of four children — two daughters and two sons.  Rose was president of her neighborhood synagogue in spite of the fact that she did not believe in G-d.   The horrors of the war had made her angry at G-d and she turned her unforgiving heart from Him completely.  Yet she did want her children to know of their Jewish heritage and because of this became very involved in temple service.

One at a time, Rose’s daughter and husband met the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus), causing great anguish and distress to Rose.  The story of how she, too, encountered her Messiah and surrendered her life to Him, lets one know that G-d is compassionate and merciful; His love is, indeed, for the lost sheep of the House of Israel.   Don’t miss this vibrant testimony of how the Shepherd of Israel makes His claim on the life of one of those lost sheep, Rose Price — and how He lovingly brings her into fellowship with him.
