חזק ואמץ! Chazak V'Amatz!
The Bund/ Workmen’s Circle and Hashomer HaTzair held an emotional private joint memorial at the site of the Mila 18 monument. Earlier in the day, Hon. Ronald Lauder told an international crowd that this monument was not big enough. So noted! Fay Rosenfeld, Samuel Norich, Robbie Solway, Ann Toback, Irene Pletka, Michael Steinlauf and Steven Meed spoke so beautifully from the heart and from beyond the grave. If that’s all it would have been, Dayenu! It would have been enough. And if there was only the candle lighting at the monument that followed, Dayenu! It would have been enough. However, the most moving part of the presentation took place at the end, when the youngest members of the newest Hashomer HaTzair “Ken” in Warsaw, gave the traditional, generations-old cheer, the refrain that once resonated loud and proud in Warsaw and throughout Poland, Chazak v’Amatz! Chazak v’Amatz! CHAZAK V’AMATZ! Mostly in tears, all our voices joined the youngest. And PS - By way of this post I am asking Fay to add a link to the streamed video of this event.
Here's a link to the video of the ceremony on Facebook.
