On May 6, six trees were dedicated on the campus of Temple Beth Sholom and Goldie Feldman Academy through the “Remember Me Orchard” program in recognition of Holocaust Remembrance Day or Yom HaShoah.

The project also honored community leader and longtime Temple Beth Sholom member Allan Lichtenstein and GFA parent Ben Reinhardt, both of whom died recently.
