Sunrise, atop Mount Masada at the foot of the Dead Sea, tens of children from the town of Arad chant 'Shema Yisrael' together with Rabbi Bentzion Lipsker.
This traditional bar/batmitzvah ceremony has existed for the past 39 years. After the boys leined tefillin, they davened and sang together with their emotional parents whose faces were lit up by rising sun.
Students of the Arad Semicha Program helped in the preparation of the moving ceremony. COL presents a photo gallery and video of the event.
