*UPDATE – JULY 10, 2025* – Enjoy these snapshots of the great gathering with so many across our community as we celebrated a Patriotic Independence Day and encouraged everyone totake action and “Bee Upstanders!”
Over the holiday weekend, HRA18 marked a powerful series of events honoring freedom, remembrance, and community. From marching in the Kingwood Fourth of July Parade to gathering for First Fridays: Shabbat at the Garden Gate, and welcoming more than 150 visitors to the Holocaust Garden of Hope during the July 6 fireworks celebration, each moment was a meaningful expression of our shared commitment to memory, courage, and hope. THANK YOU to all of our amazing volunteers and supporters who helped make this incredibly successful weekend possible!
