SELIHOT GEDOLAH AT THE MAGEN DAVID 67TH STREET SYNAGOGUE

A MEETING BETWEEN MOTHERS

It has been the tradition at Magen David Yeshivah High School every year to bring the entire school to the Magen David 67th Street Synagogue for selihot, where our students can sit in the seats where our ancestors sat when our community began.

Rabbi Eli Mansour put the special occassion into context for the students, speaking of the many historic events that have taken place within the walls of the synagogue. “This day should be called Mother’s Day,” Rabbi Mansour said. “This is the day our Mother Community Yeshivah meets our Mother Community Congregation.”

Students and rabbis, led by Hazan Mordechai Salem, then proceeded to fill the historic building with song and prayers. It was truly a memorable morning for all!
