As we wish all our readers ah gutten kvittel and ah gut yohr
following what we hope was an uplifting Yom Kippur, we pray that all the
tefillos are accepted on High.
On Yom Kippur, Maftir Yonah in your shul may have been sold
for a few hundred or a few thousand dollars, but in the main shul in Moscow,
which is led by Rav Pinchas Goldschmidt, Maftir Yonah was sold for $660,000
dollars, or 20 million rubles. The money will be given to the city’s mosdos,
including Yeshiva Toras Chaim.
In Belz, history was made, as the first time in decades, the
tefillos finished on time, at the request of the Belzer Rebbe.
