‘Simply too large an event to overlook,’ rabbis say of commemorating 25th anniversary of 9/11 on Rosh Hashanah...

Rabbis have stated that the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks is too significant to overlook when it falls on Rosh Hashanah. They plan to incorporate commemoration into the holiday observances.

Gratitude forms a core value in Judaism and belongs on Rosh Hashanah, according to Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz of Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun. The community intends to remember the nearly 3,000 victims, many of whom were Jewish.
