March of the living

Sar-El Delegation to the March of the Living 2026

Walk Together. Remember Together. Stand Together. In April 2026, Sar-El invites you to join our delegation on a journey of memory, meaning, and mission: a week-long experience through Poland as part of the international March of the Living. This trip is an act of remembrance, resilience, and responsibility. Together, we will walk the path of Jewish history — from the vibrant streets of Krakow’s Jewish Quarter to the silence of Auschwitz-Birkenau, where we will stand shoulder to shoulder with thousands from around the world in the March of the Living on Yom HaShoah. We will continue through Lublin, Majdanek, and Warsaw, retracing the footsteps of courage and faith that refused to be extinguished. Along the way, we will learn, reflect, and connect — not only with our shared past, but with one another. Through dialogue, prayer, and collective experience, we will transform remembrance into resolve: to confront antisemitism, to strengthen Jewish unity, and to honor those who came before us by living with purpose and pride.
