About us

The Ember To Remember family tells the unique story of every family anywhere in the world.
This is a story of every family, that remembers its past and dedicates once a year on the Holocaust and bravery memorial day a ceremony for this memory at home with the family members. The ceremony is conducted using the Ember To Remember kit.

The goal of the Ember To Remember idea is to unite families in Israel and worldwide by a steady tradition of a Holocaust and bravery memorial ceremony that is simple and available yearly and strengthen the family consolidation by stressing 6 major values of our people.

The years that have gone by, the feelings that have dulled and the number of survivors that had naturally decreased, accentuate the importance of creating a regular ceremony that captures the family’s legacy and the continuity though the generations and that cherishes the revival generation – which brought us to the present.
These elements are the core component that is innovative to this memory perception. The ceremony kit was designed following the need for an intimate inner family and communal ceremony.
This is how the family’s special and unique way of remembering and cherishing the Holocaust victims and bravery will be formed.

A fascinating ceremony from the bottom of the heart!!!!

One day this format of a family ceremony will be the most prevalent and important way of commemoration.

Please make this memorial form widespread within the people of Israel and worldwide.

Since “Remembering the past is the key to the future!”


The founders:

The Holocaust victims and bravery Memorial Day is marked annually by a variety of activities: memorial ceremonies, the sounding of sirens, rallies, flags at half-mast and journeys of adolescents to Poland. The entire Jewish people as well as other peoples unite with the memory of the Holocaust and its results; however at individual-family level there is no ceremony or other activity to perpetuate this unique day.
The years that have gone by, the feelings that have dulled and the number of survivors that had naturally decreased, accentuate the importance of creating a regular ceremony that will be conveyed from one generation to another and will preserve the chain of knowledge and remembrance.
This is a ceremony was created following private and personal need as well as endless requests from Holocaust survivors and their second generation.

Our goal is to unite families in Israel and worldwide with a traditional memorial ceremony, educating children to perpetuate evidence of the Holocaust and bravery of the victims and to dedicate the Righteous Among the Nations. For this purpose we have created the Ember To Remember ceremony that involves the family members by lighting candles, sharing information, knowledge and memories – and pass them on to the next generations.

We introduce you to a kit that contains the family/ institutional program of the memorial evening ceremony of the Holocaust and bravery. The goal of the kit is to build an evening, that contains a defined program by six components, in memory of the six million Jews that were killed during the Holocaust, that emphasize the values dedicated to this evening.


Shaul Myzlish words:

This kit you have been given constitutes a novelty in the landscape of memory and preservation of one of the foundational experiences of our people – the experience of the Holocaust.
This kit aims to fill a gap created in the individual and family field of expression of recording the beloved lost in the Holocaust, and respond to the long time need to have an intimate family and inter-communal commemoration ceremony.
The patterns and insights contained in the kit could also serve as a basis for performing commemoration ceremonies in schools, community centers and during both youth and adults journeys to Poland and Germany – the huge cemeteries of the Jewish people.
The kit is provided in the form of an organized ceremony, however it leaves a wide space too, for the imagination and creativity of individuals in each family, community and institute. It integrates the loss and demise and the optimist vision of revival illuminating the darkness of those days.
We will be glad to have both your comments and insights as well as experiences following the performance of ceremonies based on this kit.

Prof. Shevah Weiss:

The Holocaust is the most terrifying, evil and destructive event in the Jewish people’s history and of humanity: To death sentence in torture the entire Jewish people and carry out the verdict in diabolical methods for more than six years worldwide. Nearly with no utterance of resistance from the leaders of the free nations, and by encouragement and cooperation of some of the European populations, and not just them (also the Mufti El Husseini), is the nature of the horror.
Those who lost their loved ones, in various relations and generations, their congregations, a third of their people, cannot and do not wish to forget neither to forgive.
There are many public (Holocaust) memorial ways that vary from generation to generation, but a firm memorial tradition for families has not been created so far.
The Ember to Remember initiative presents an option of family privatization of the public mourning.
One day this will be the main memorial form, the most prevalent and important of all.
