Throughout the program, signup stands will be positioned in both the men’s and women’s sections, giving attendees the opportunity to answer the call of the gedolim by becoming “Shutfei Keren Olam Hatorah” and joining those who stand hand in hand with the gedolim in supporting the Yeshivas and Kollelim in Eretz Yisroel.
A dedicated women’s section on Tenth Street between Lexington and Clifton. Pedestrian traffic on Lexington Avenue between 9th and 10th streets is designated for women only. Organizers have coordinated with local and county law enforcement, Township officials and departments, and local organizations—including Hatzalah, Chaveirim, Shomrim, and the NCA—to ensure a smooth and safe event for the large crowds expected.
Given the vast attendance anticipated, organizers emphasize that there won’t be any opportunity to personally greet the gedolim. However, the gedolim will offer personal brachas to the entire tzibur. Organizers are reminding parents to explain to their bachurim the importance of being respectful and following the instructions of organizers and law enforcement.
