Yom Kippur @ Chabad is Something Special

Yom Kippur at Chabad Lubavitch of Manhattan Beach is a memorable event. Hundreds of young Jewish Russian American Families joined for the Services

The services included an ongoing, incredibly inspiring Kabbalistic narrative given by Rabbi Avrohom Winner and a children’s program giving the adults the ability to pray and become uplifted by the yom kippur holiday.

“…Our organization and synagogue is constantly growing… this year however, I must say, it has jumped exponentially and we are very proud of what the Rabbi and Shula are doing. Gathering us Russian American Jews together”, said Galina a prominent member of the Manhattan Beach community.

Earlier this month, we reported on the upcoming celebration of the Synagogue of Chabad Lubavitch of Manhattan Beach‘s completion of their first Torah. A Torah Parade was held on September 9, and today we have pictures and reactions of the parade from those who were there. “This was a huge milestone for our synagogue. We finally have our own torah, which was made possible by contributions from the Russian American Jewish community of Manhattan Beach and Brighton Beach,” said Rabbi Avrohom Winner, the head of the Manhattan Beach Chabad (134 West End Avenue). Hundreds of people showed up for the occasion ranging from prominent rabbis and leaders from the local community, including Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowits. According to a press release sent by Chabad Manhattan Beach, local resident Boris Borokhovich summed up the feeling of positivity and goodwill by reflecting that, “This is something we could not even imagine in the former Soviet Union. It was forbidden to keep anything Jewish and here in America we can dance and celebrate our Jewishness in the streets.”

Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn, NY

“I’m a Jew and I’m Proud…” rang in the air on West End Ave. as Jews in Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn celebrating the completion of a new Torah Scroll. Children carrying flags, torches and theme balloons eagerly embraced and kissed the new Torah as they sang out loud in English and Russian. 

The campaign to write this Torah was initiated by Chabad Lubavitch of Manhattan Beach for the use in their synagogue. 

 “Every Jew is compared to a letter in the Torah; Just as each letter is an essential part of the Torah, so too every Jew is an essential part of the Jewish people,” Said Rabbi Avrohom Winner, Director of Chabad-Lubavitch of Manhattan Beach. 

 The event began inside the Chabad Synagogue, where the final letters were written, followed by a parade and procession in which hundreds of adults and children participated.

The march began on West End Ave. and continued onto Brighton Beach Ave. The facial expressions of the onlookers were remarkable; people on the street stopped to partake in the procession and hold and kiss the new Torah. Prominent Rabbis and communal leaders joined the procession and were honored to hold the new Torah scroll. The parade concluded with dancing and refreshments in front of the Synagogue. 

 “This is something we could never have imagined in the former Soviet Union; it was forbidden to keep anything Jewish and here in America we can dance and celebrate our Jewishness in the streets,” Said Boris Borokhovich, a resident in the neighborhood.
