Preparing for Holy Days

Toledo Blade

Rabbinical students Leibel Kudan, left, and Bentzion Shemtov knock on the door of an apartment on Sylvania Avenue in Toledo to offer religious education and materials.

The two seminarians, both age 22, went door-to-door this week to help local Jews prepare for the High Holy Days that begin with Rosh Hashanah on the evening of Sept. 18.

‘We want to inspire people for the upcoming holidays as well as address their interest in Jewish awareness,’ Mr. Kudan said. The pair demonstrated such Jewish traditions of blowing the shofar, or ram’s horn, and affi xing a mezzuzah — a small box containing a written prayer — to the front door.
