The Admor of Skverer, Rabbi David Twersky, arrived at the Western Wall after midnight on Saturday night, the week of Parshat Va’era. He was accompanied by thousands of chasidim, including 1,500 who came with him from the U.S. and Europe despite the security situation. For more than two hours the Admor and his followers prayed for the welfare and safety of the Jewish people.

A Substitute Greater than the Original – Yom Kippur
Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz explains how Yom Kippur, once centered on Temple sacrifices, became a day where heartfelt prayer and repentance surpass the original service. Even deliberate sins find atonement through sincere prayer, turning Yom Kippur into not only a solemn fast but a day of deep joy, cleansing, and closeness to God.
