Michal Govrin – From Yizkor to Seder: New Rituals for Yom Hashoah
As the generation of Holocaust survivors passes, we must find new, meaningful ways to commemorate the Shoah. Similar to the Passover seder, Hitkansut is guided by a Haggadah which weaves together literary texts, testimonies, discussions, prayer, and moments of silence to which participants are invited to contribute their own voices. Hartman North America has lovingly translated the Haggadah linguistically and culturally for the North American audience.
Like so many Jewish rituals, Hitkansut is best experienced as a group: family, synagogue, JCC, or school.
More information, complete Hitkansut Haggadahs, articles and lectures, as well as full recordings of the Hitkansut ceremonies, can be found on the Hartman Institute’s website
