Is it isolated or at risk?
Join the Rosh Hashanah prayers throughout the holiday • The prayers will be delivered in a quiet wave, without human contact and without the need to deal with a computer during the holiday
While thousands will come during the two days of Rosh Hashanah for prayers in synagogues and courtyards, many will not be able to do so, whether due to isolation or because they are in a risk group or unable to attend for physical reasons.
The "Zion" congregation in Jerusalem, in collaboration with the Israeli Rabbinate Beit Midrash of the Hartman Institute and the Oranim Midrasha, and with the help of the Honey Foundation, invite the public to join the prayers of the High Holidays through the computer, and without desecrating the holiday.
The quiet wave will be broadcast live throughout Rosh Hashanah on the "Israel Today" website.
Join the live broadcast:
All the holiday prayers were filmed and pre-recorded and uploaded to the websites of Kehilat Zion and the Hartman Institute in a "quiet wave" configuration.
Those interested can browse to one of the sites before the holiday, including the "Israel Today" site, to activate the video player - and it will play the prayers on time without the need for typing or additional clicks.
The video player will operate throughout the holiday in a Shabbat and Yom Tov format, and between prayers there will be complete silence.
Note that before turning on the player you have turned off your screen saver, make sure that the computer does not enter "sleep" mode.

The prayers that will be broadcast are in the style of Eretz Israel, led by Rabbi Tamar Elad-Applebaum, the poets Neria Rafael Kanfo, Yahala Lachamish, Hadas Pal-Yarden, and members of the Zion Community.
The founder and leader of the Zion community, many Tamar Elad-Applebaum: This word is mentioned.These are all examples of people who are far away, praying from a distance and talking to each other from a distance.
"In what he said to his community on Rosh Hashanah 1890, the 'language of truth' taught that Rosh Hashanah is a time for distant vision.
This is why we keep repeating the words 'we remembered for life', and 'we wrote in the book of life'.
We ask in many tongues because it is not only for me but also those around me and those I do not know or see at the moment.
These are words that are meant to send each other strength to cling to life, even when far away - not to lose the thread of hope.
Feel remote escort, remote love, and caring and guarantee from afar.
"This year, in the shadow of the corona and the fear of mental supervision, the terrible days will be very different - they will be far away. This is a time when we must learn to live in uncertainty, in a fog of ignorance. "Only in body but also in soul, and to ensure that in the prayers of the terrible days no one will be left and no one will be left alone. Even those who cannot leave the house will be able to pray together from afar, but together with a close heart."
