The pandemic has curtailed indoor religious services, leaving so many wondering how to pray, hear the shofar and come together during the Jewish High Holy Days. Rabbi Levi Illulian of One Lev Org, known as The Rabbi of the Flats, decided to do something about it.
“I thought to myself, why don’t I create an opportunity for congregants to observe Rosh Hashana’s most meaningful traditions while keeping with social distancing guidelines?” He also wanted to do something meaningful in honor of those unwell, especially his 11-year- old-student, Rachel, who is currently battling a brain tumor.
