The Novominsker Rebbe on a teleconference ahead of the mass Asifa/atzeres this Sunday in New York, explained the purpose and meaning of the gathering.
Novominsker Rebbe |
Even before its passing never before has Jewish nature criminalized limud haTorah even Paroh in Mitzrayim wasn't mishabed or forced shevet Levi .
we all consider this to be a terrible gezeirah we are gathering to Hashem to take away this gezeirah.
We want to be awakened by the tehillim and tachnunim that torah should continue ad bias hagoel.
Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel of agudath Israel- followed the Rebbes remarks stating the gathering and prayer rally- it should be marbe kavod shomayim not the opposite.
Rabbi Shlomo Gertzulin - briefed the audience about the logistics of the Atzeres gathering.
The Atzeres will begin at 2 pm and run for 90 minutes until approx 3:30-4:00 pm.
There will be no speeches or speakers, Just davening tachnunim, Tehillim and Mincha.
Atzeres schedule
Mincha, Tehillim kapitalach 130, 20, 13, 42, 51, 79, 80, 84, 86, 90, 121 & 122, Avinu Malkeinu, Selichos, Pizmon - Yisroel Nosha Bashem & Kabolas ol Malchus Shomayim.
The area will run from Broad street all the way south to the Brookly Bridge.
Separate areas for men and Women. Men will be at the southern part starting from Bowling green, women should take trains to Fulton center.
NYPD will provide security along with sadranim who will easily be identified wearing orange vests. There will be extensive street closures around lower Manhattan. In order to keep the decorum we are asking people not to bring signs. peopel are asked to bring along Tehillim and siddurim.
Getting to the Atzeres we urge everyone to use mass transit, the MTA will add major trains for the return trip.
For those who must drive, theyshould either come through the Brooklyn battery tunnel and park at the nearby Battery parking garage.
All lanes and tubes of the tunnel will be open forthe event.
Those coming from outlying areas should park in Staten Island and take the ferry its a free ride to the Atzeres, or at the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn bridge.
All buses from Monsey, Lakewood, Blatimore, Philly, or other areas must approach the Area from the west side of Manhattan there will be extensive parking areas for busses it will facilitate the traffic.
WE urge attendees not to get off the buses until the buses park so pople know where their buses are.
In light of the fact that it will be hard to navigate through lower Manhattan we ask of the elderly and disabled to use their own discretion and make arrangements.

Let me understand, Torah study is the koach against your enemies but apparently it can't protect you from the Israeli government?
ReplyDeleteSo they might as well stop davening 3 times daily too, according to that "logic", right?
DeleteAl pi derech haTeva, the Zionists have leveled an awesome gezeira on our brethren in E"Y, and when faced with this type of gezeira, CH"V, group tefillah with achdus and with arvus cannot be underestimated.
Does that help you understand?
