by COLlive Editor · COLliveBuilding on the success of previous years Achdus Hakafos in Crown Heights—and the positive feedback from so many—we are pleased to announce that the Third Annual Simchas Torah Achdus Hakafos will take place Sunday, 1:00–1:45 PM, at the corner of Albany Avenue and Crown Street.
Shuls participating in this Achdus Hakafos are; Beis Levy Yitzchok, Beis Shea, Beis Shneur, Chevra Ahavas Yisroel, Merkaz Sefarad, Ohel Nosson, and others, and is once again being organized by Rabbi Lazer Avtzon of the Association of Crown Heights Shuls / Merkaz Sefarad, and R’ Binyomin Levin of Beis Shneur.
Other Shuls and/or individuals looking to participate are invited and welcome.
In accordance with the directive of the Beis Din of Crown Heights, the Sifrei Torah should not be taken out onto the street. Each shul should first conduct Ata Horeisa and Hakafos inside their respective locations before joining the community celebration.
Location guidelines:
Women: Albany Avenue between Carroll and Crown Streets
Men: Albany Avenue between Crown and Montgomery Streets
Dancing: In the main intersection of Crown and Albany for men and boys
Together, we will create a tremendous Kiddush Hashem and Kiddush Shem Lubavitch, bringing the Rebbe much nachas.
We ask all participating shuls to relay the following guidelines to ensure proper decorum and tznius:
Women should remain on Albany between Carroll and Crown Streets
Men should be on Albany Ave from Crown to Montgomery Streets
Actual dancing will be at the intersection of Crown and Albany (for men and boys only)
The program will begin with the recital of the 12 Pesukim, followed by joyous dancing to the songs:
– הושיעה את עמיך
– עוצו עצה ותופר
– פרזות תשב ירושלים
– אני מאמין
– ניגון של ר’ לוי”ק
שנזכה כבר לפני שמיני עצרת ושמחת תורה להתגלות משיח צדקנו ומלכנו בראשינו
א גוט יום טוב!
A special thank you to Rabbi Yaacov Behrman and to the New York City Police Department for their assistance and support.
