The Year of Hakhel Very well done and befitting for I am assigned in Afghanistan. Coming together for High Holy Days has an extra special meaning for all of us here. Reply
Hakhel This is the first time I have ever heard of Hakhel. I am a convert , and so happy to know now of this mitzvah. I feel within my heart today a new and higher awaking. A desire to make a stronger commitment to HaShem; a teshuva to keep all the words of Torah with the help of G-D. Today I heard from Har Sinai through your teaching. Thank you.
