Lists of Children’s Names and Sample Letters

Make an emotional connection with your Shoah Yellow Candle™ delivery.

Mail merge the name of a child victim into the Meditation prayer page.

Leaders and Men’s Club President’s letter plus insert a meditation letter with each candle.

• Personalize the meditation or El Maleh Rachamin meditation with the names of children that perished in the Holocaust.  Personalizing the prayer with a child victim’s name helps connect families with children to the Yellow Candle^TM they receive.
• Meditations should have language about the mitzvah to make a donation in the name of someone who has passed on.
• The President’s letter, inserted with the candle, can create donations equal to the Rabbi’s letter.

FJMC clubs that have used the holocaust children merged meditation have experienced an increase in donations from synagogue families with children. This is a population that historically has not been well connected with the Shoah. Refer to support material on the FJMC web site.

Insert to Rabbi or Presidents letter:

“During the Holocaust, the Nazis and their collaborators murdered over 1.5 million Jewish children under the age of 16.  This year, the Men’s Club hopes to personalize your family’s observance of Yom HaShoah by providing each Synagogue family with the name and homeland of a young victim who may have no surviving relatives to light a candle in his or her memory.”
