Davening

Leading our davening this Yomim Noraim will be our Baal Musaf, Chaim Kurz, as well as our Baal Shacharis Yaakov Portnoy. Their heartfelt nigunim and powerful t'filos have uplifted the davening of thousands of mispallelim over all of these years. Together our chazanim combine to present a set of t’filos on the Yomim Noraim that both captivate and rouse our olam to join in what is always a particularly powerful davening experience. Indeed, time and time again we hear from our mispallelim how they feel their entire year is different because of the chizuk they get from these t’filos on Rosh Hashana.
