Yom Kippur NYC Services To Feature Tribute To 9/11 Firemen

[King_David]

Yom Kippur New York City services will feature a house of worship known as "the ground zero synagogue" paying tribute to "the heroic firemen of Engine Six."

A conclusion to the “Ten Days of Repentance,” Yom Kippur, which is the holy Day of Atonement for Jews, will begin at sundown Friday, reports AP.

Engine Six is located next to the temple, whose formal name is The Wall Street Synagogue.

Rabbi Meyer Hager says it's part of a community "deeply affected" by 9/11. The Kol Nidrei Yom Kippur services will include the lighting of special memorial candles
