2. JEWISH JEOPARDY: We give the answer, you give the question:
A: Sofer
Q: On what do Jews recline on Passover?
A: Babylon
Q: What does the rabbi do during some sermons?

Immediately following the Community Service, all are invited to walk down the block to Bnai Keshet, 99 S. Fullerton Avenue, where volunteers will read aloud names of victims through the night and into the next day, concluding at 6:30pm Monday evening. (There may be a pause in reading during overnight hours, depending on sign-ups).
While Jews were persecuted during this time in history, it is important to remember that gays and lesbians, as well as individuals with disabilities, were also targeted. Lists of names representing these groups will also be available for reading aloud.
Any and all are welcome and encouraged to honor the memories of those who suffered. Sign up below or just come to pay respects. You may bring names of family members to read aloud, or share personal artifacts.
