Honoring the fallen

Posted

About 60 people attended a ceremony for Yom ha-Zikaron April 17 at the Alliance’s Dwares Jewish Community Center in Providence.

The community gathering for Israel’s Memorial Day paid tribute to three soldiers as well as all the fallen soldiers and victims of terror. Tslil Reichman, community shlichah, spoke as did several University of Rhode Island students. Gershon Levine led Yizkor and Cantor Brian Mayer led the singing. Dayna Bailen sang the “Star Spangled Banner.” Those in attendance were invited to light memorial candles.
