Tonight's the 88th anniversary of #Kristallnacht, when gangs attacked and destroyed synagogues, and wrecked the Jewish owned shops and businesses which they'd previously picketed and boycotted. Dozens were killed, and the descent towards the Holocaust continued. Lest we forget.
In November 1938, the Nazis embarked on a violent rampage against the Jews of Germany and Austria, desecrating synagogues, burning holy books, and ransacking Jewish institutions and businesses. Dozens of Jews were also brutally murdered during the November Pogrom (#Kristallnacht).
Each November, we remember this heinous attempt to destroy the body and soul of the Jewish people. This year, more than ever, join us in the Spread the Light initiative, launched by Yad Vashem and the Religious Kibbutz Movement.
Tonight, 9 November, leave the lights on overnight in synagogues, cultural establishments, places of gathering and study, and communal buildings, as a symbol of the enduring Jewish spirit and in memory of those whose lives were shattered.
