Alexander Hasidic Group Holds High Holy Day Prayers at Bnei Brak Auditorium Due to Construction
Hundreds of Alexander Hasidim gathered on Saturday night for the first Selichot prayers, led by their Rebbe. The service was held at the municipal auditorium on Jerusalem Street in Bnei Brak, rather than the usual grand study hall, due to extensive construction work.
The auditorium has been prepared to accommodate the hundreds of followers who will gather there throughout the upcoming High Holy Days and festival period. The Hasidim are praying that they will be able to celebrate the High Holy Days and festivals next year in their new, larger study hall.
The Selichot prayers mark the beginning of the period leading up to Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the High Holy Days in Judaism. This year, the community's relocation for these important services highlights the ongoing development of their main prayer space.
