The story · English
On July 5th (17th of Tammuz), a Torah reading took place aboard an El Al flight traveling from New York to Israel. Rabbi Leizer (Louis) Shiner brought a Torah scroll onto the plane and led the congregation in the reading of the portion 'Va'etchanan,' serving as the third aliyah and concluding the reading. The event was documented on video, capturing the unique moment of prayer and Torah reading at high altitude during the flight.
