Bnei Brak Children Recite Penitential Prayers, Receive Ice Cream
A spiritual Selichot (penitential prayers) service was held at the "Ohel Avraham" institutions in the Kiryat Herzog neighborhood of Bnei Brak. The event was led by the head of the institutions and the city's chief rabbi, Rabbi Moshe Hizkiyahu, and attended by the Chief Rabbi of Bnei Brak, Rabbi Masoud Ben Shimon.
The gathering, described as uplifting, took place during the daytime hours. Following the prayers, the children participating received ice cream.
The event was part of the Selichot period, a time of penitential prayers recited in the days leading up to Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) and through Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement).
