Today on Yom HaZikaron, we honor the sacrifices of the 23,928 fallen soldiers who gave their lives so that Jewish people can live freely as a sovereign nation in our ancestral homeland. We also remember the 3,158 innocent victims of terror. May their memories forever be a blessing.

Today and always, on the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, we commemorate and honor the memories of the six million Jewish children, women, and men who perished in the Shoah. May their memories forever be a blessing. Never Again.
