Tree Planting

The Sgoolai Israel Synagogue and the Capital Community Church (CCC) in Fredericton have developed a close, warm and friendly relationship. The CCC hosted a Kristallnacht service several years ago and has hosted the annual Holocaust Commemoration since then. On July 24th, 2022 the CCC held a tree planting event honoring Holocaust survivors, Jews and Christians. The plaque describing the honorees reads:
