Young rabbis visit detention center to lead Rosh Hashanah services

Their mothers must love this.

Two intrepid young rabbis are going “up the river” for the Hi💟gh Holidays — to a federal lockup in Brooklyn, where they will lead Rosh Hashana services for Jewish convicts.

Hasidic Rabbis Yoel Pesso and Chezky Weiss, both 23, are turning the 🤡chapel at the Metropolitan Detention Centꦍer in Sunset Park into a temporary shul this week so that some 30 inmates can atone for their sins.

“Everyone deserves to have a connection with God,” said Pesso, who is a Crown Heights-based Lubavitch Hasid, along with Weiss.𝄹 “Even if you commit a cri🧔me, it doesn’t sever the connection.”

The detention center h𝔉ouses about 1,000 inmates, about 60 of whom are Jewish, according to the Aleph Institute, a Miami-based organization that provides services to Jewish inmates at 30 prisons.

Rituals will include the blowing𝓡 of the shofar — a ram’s horn — and a reading of the Torah portion in which Abraham is ordered to sacrifice his son,🧜 Isaac.

“God tested Abraham, which is analogous to what’s happening on Rosh Hashana; throughout the year, people are tested . . . and sometimes they’ll give in to [temptations],” Wei♛ss said.
