I Paper Clips Trip … March 12-15 Thanks to a generous donor family, Rabbi Shere and I are O leading a once in a lifetime teen trip from March 12 to 15 to the Paper Clips project at the Children’s Holocaust Memorial in Whitwell, Tennessee. It is our pleasure to co- N lead this experience with Ilana Woronoff, Nate Strauss and Lexie Sittsamer, college students who attended the original Paper Clips trip in 2007. Together we will escort A 32 8th-12th graders on a journey through the exhibit, explore a new Coal Miners’ Museum, celebrate Shabbat at the B’nai Zion Congregation in Chattanooga and explore L Tennessee. In 1998, 8th graders in the small town of Whitwell, Tennessee, nestled in a little rural valley in the Smoky  Mountains, created a monument to commemorate the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Their project was inspired by a history lesson involving Norwegians who L wore paper clips on their lapels as a statement of protest against the Nazis.

It is a reminder that every day is an opportunity to create meaning and joy in our lives and in the lives of others. Every day is a gift. The other reason is from how a parochet with this verse was used in the Holocaust. The Nazis did not just want to destroy Jewish bodies, but Jewish souls, as well. At one of the camps, the Nazis took a parochet from a synagogue they had destroyed and hung it over the entrance to the gas chambers. It had the same verse as our new parochet. They thought they could demoralize the Jews, but a survivor who witnessed this said that the people took strength from the verse and lived their ADAT SHALOM WAS PROUD TO HOST THE 16TH WORLD SABBATH OF last moments of life with more dignity than the Nazis and their RELIGIOUS RECONCILIATION IN JANUARY.
