Kiseh Rachamim Yeshiva Holds Rosh Hashanah Services, Raises Funds
The Kiseh Rachamim yeshiva in Bnei Brak held its Rosh Hashanah services, marked by a significant fundraising event and a senior minister's remarks. The highlight of the holiday services was the auction for the opening of the Ark, which was sold for a record sum of NIS 1.8 million (approximately $480,000). This amount is reportedly the highest ever paid for this honor at the yeshiva.
During the services, a senior minister spoke with the head of the yeshiva, Rabbi David Abuchatzeira, and the cantors leading the prayers. The event also saw a record number of pages of the Talmud studied and subsequently 'sold' as part of the fundraising efforts for the yeshiva's livelihood. The yeshiva, known for its Sephardic heritage, attracted a large number of attendees for the High Holiday prayers.
