Lower Manhattan Jews expect challenges when area shuts for 9/11 commemoration on eve of Rosh Hashanah
Rabbi Jonathan Glass had a moment of panic when he realized that the entire west side of lower Manhattan, where his Tribeca Synagogue is located, would be shut to traffic at 6 a.m. on Sept. 11, which is also the eve of Rosh Hashanah.
The Modern Orthodox synagogue is slated to host a large, festive Rosh Hashanah dinner on Friday night and to serve food throughout the two-day holidays on Saturday and Sunday. All of a sudden, he was unsure if delivery trucks would be able to get through police blockades.
"I’m going to have to let people know about this as soon as possible," he told JNS. "It could be a problem."
