Family and Friends Gather for the Shloshim of Sruly Woonteiler OBM

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] – Its been one month since the tragic passing of HaBochur Sruly Woonteiler OBM, who passed away from the injuries he sustained when the driver of a pickup truck ran him over on a California street, then fled.

Friend and family marked this day with a traditional gathering, a Shloshim in Aliya on East New York Avenue in Crown Heights. Srulys family had arranged a Seudah for the crowd while they heard inspirational words from Rabbi Alter Metzger, who spoke about Mesirus Nefesh and the preparations one must do for the Yomim Noiroim.

The Rebbe says:

1. Every year without exception we read the Torah portion of Nitzavim on the Shabbos before Rosh Hashanah (the New Year).

2. We know that every Shabbos has a connection to and includes in it all the days of that coming week. Therefore, there must be a connection between Parshas Nitzavim and Rosh Hashanah (because, as we said, Rosh Hashanah is one the days included in the coming week of the Shabbos on which we read Parshas Nitzavim).

Question: What is the connection between the Torah portion of Nitzavim and Rosh Hashanah?
