Ayelet Hashachar Dispatches 150 Families to Secular Communities for Yomim Noraim

By Yechiel Saber

Some 150 Ayelet Hashachar volunteer families are spent the Yomim Noraim at kibbutzim and small communities where shofar blasts have never been heard and minyanim never held.

The sound of the shofar was heard this year at kibbutzim such as Degania Alef, Ein Charod, Ein Dor, Hasolelim, Gesher Haziv, Sedot Yam, Yifat; Golan Heights communities Geshur and Eliad; and moshavim such as Karkum and Kfar Chittim.

For the first time in history organized minyanim will be held along with glatt kosher holiday meals to which all residents will be invited.

The holiday events will be led by 150 families sent to 25 different locations across the country, equipped with sifrei Torah, machzorim, shofaros, tallisos, yarmulkes and food.

Rabbi Mordechai Reich, who is coordinating the operation, says similar activities that Ayelet Hashachar sponsored last year at Machanayim and Beit Keshet succeeded beyond all expectations. At Machanayim a beis knesses was subsequently started and shiurim are held there, while Beit Keshet is preparing to set up a place to hold tefillos.

The Yomim Noraim program is a continuation of Ayelet Hashachar's activities at these communities in recent months, such as organizing visits to yeshivas in Bnei Brak and Jerusalem and to the Kosel Hama'arovi.

The organization also has plans to bring Simchas Beis Hashoevoh and Simchas Torah to these and other communities around the country.
