The men's section, stretched to the north of the podium, and the women's section to the south, as far as the eye could see

The tefillah was led by Rabbi Syshe Heschel, a member of the Orthodox Union's kashrut supervisory staff and a descendant of a distinguished hasidic family.

"May this be a time for compassion and a receptive moment for our prayers!"
