This holiday is especially important to the veterans and elders who fought in the war and remember the Russian victory over the Germans. Every year the Jewish veterans look forward to a special program held at the Shul to honor their courage and bravery. This year the veterans were treated to a festive dinner, a choir performance by our Chesed Organization volunteers, as well as a song and dance performance by a few students in the School.

Rabbi Chaim Danzinger congratulated them and expressed his admiration for remaining steadfast in their observance and belief in Judaism throughout all their hardships.
