Join this global campaign by pledging to Keep The Light On in your Houses of Worship, institutions and private homes on the night of November 9th.

“Let there be Light” is a global campaign of unity based on the premise of encouraging all to unite in solidarity against bias, bigotry, antisemitism, racism, hatred and intolerance. March of the Living is inviting individuals, institutions and Houses of Worship across the world to keep their lights on during the night of November 9th, as a symbol of solidarity and mutual commitment in the shared battle against the darkness of hate.

Additionally, people from all over the world will be able to add their voice to the campaign. Individuals of all religions and backgrounds are invited to write personal messages of hope in their own words on the campaign website. Beginning November 2, 2020, enter your pledge by visiting www.motl.org/let-there-be-light.

The main synagogue in Frankfurt, one of the few not destroyed on Kristallnacht, will be illuminated as well as other places of religious and spiritual significance across the world. Personal messages and prayers from the virtual campaign will be projected on the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. Against the backdrop of rising intolerance, bias, antisemitism and racism, these individual expressions of optimism and unity will help illuminate the world against darkness and hatred.
