230 Chabad Houses to Offer ‘Triumph of Hope’
230 shluchim across the globe will be offering a powerful program this Tisha B’Av, featuring an inspirational session of film, study and personal reflection about finding faith in difficult times.
Titled TRIUMPH OF HOPE: Personal Recollections of Faith Amidst the Horrors of the Holocaust, the program will offer a new, fascinating 25-minute, emotionally-gripping documentary film. The film features holocaust survivors recounting their memories of increased faith, resilience and strengthened Jewish identity during moments of agony and horror. Following the film, participants will study a new lesson from JLI on the topic of faith with especially published textbooks and visual aids.
Rabbi Mendel Kaplan, Director of Chabad’s thriving community of Flamingo in Toronto who directed the film production and teamed up with JLI for this project said, “The film weaves together holocaust survivors personal recollections, fascinating stories and sentiments, along with a rare video clip of the Rebbe speaking about the Holocaust”.
JLI released “Triumph of Hope” last week and to date hundreds of Chabad Centers have signed up to offer this uplifting and inspiring program on Tisha B’Av. Participating shluchim are provided with a DVD, Teacher’s Manual, Student Textbooks, PowerPoint presentation and marketing materials to promote the program.

HOW
HOW CAN ONE GET TO SEE THIS VIDEO AS A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL LIVING IN THE BROOKLYN AREA????
Here?
who will show in in Crown Heights?
Will Torah Cafe air it?
Will Torah Cafe air it?
i think
this is not what we have to “KOCCH” in.
lets not loose track of our mission, we should be focused on Simcha and positive.
in a drive to get people excited and to be “with it”, JLI at times looses focus big time.
About Holocaust Memorials
Special message from survivor, ZT”L (niftar 2000).
This Holocaust survivor was among thousands interviewed, in 1995, by employees of Steven Spielberg to relate their horrific experience. Here is what she said about Holocaust memorials.
“We need Holocaust memorials. Our true Holocaust memorials are our children. The children, they are the proof as long as there is Torah and Yeshivas to guide us, no enemy of the Jews will ever succeed to annihilate us. These children, later adults, and their children are our witnesses that we are an eternal people, just as our Torah teaches us. They remember the Holocaust, as they still do, and will remember the giving of the Torah to our nation, the Jewish people, over 3,000 years ago, who do not change or revise it to suit their lifestyles. They will say Yizkor for our 6 million martyrs four times a year, not with music or aplomb once a year, as it is done near the buildings of the Holocaust memorials. And on Tisha B’av, they will mourn the Holocaust as we mourn the destruction of our two Holy Temples. Yes, these type of children will live on, and they will remember and perpetuate the memory.”
