Summary
The Shofar Blowing took place in “Beit haBechira” Yeshiva
Formerly known as “B’tochechi Yerushalayim”
In the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem
The minyan in “Beit haBechira” Yeshiva, the prayers took place in the court (beit din) with the participation of:
Rabbi Tzvi Idan, Rabbi Dov Stein, Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, and other ordained rabbis that arrived during the ocurse of the prayers.
The place was set as a “place of court”, by means of the meetings of the court that took place before Rosh Hashana. At the time of the shofar blowing, there were 23 worshippers present. From a halachic perspective, it is enough with a court of 3, according to the approach of many of the commentators and halachic deciders: Rash”i, Ri”f, Tosafot, Ra’ava”d, Ramba”n, and more. That being said, Rabbi Tzvi Idan ordained those present for the sake of the shofar blowing, in order to satisfy the opinion of the Ramba”m that the entire court needs to be ordained. The prayer took place at the earliest time, k’vatikin. Between the Torah reading and the shofar blowing, there was a meeting of the court for about half an hour; and that is, per the halacha, so that the blowing is done at the time that “the court is in session”. Different subjects were discussed related to the Temple and shofar blowing on the Sabbath. Rabbi Stein, who blew the shofar, requested authorization from the court to blow the shofar. Those present came to the decision that the court is fulfilling the decree of Rabban Yochanan ben Zakai; and from the strength of that decree, the shofar blower fulfills the shofar blowing – like the decree of Rabban Yochanan ben Zakai and his court. At the end of the blowing and the musaf prayer, those present again convened for a continuation of the meeting of the court, for approximately another quarter hour. Halachic questions were asked, and the ordained rabbis answered to those who asked. The purpose of the discussion – in order to fulfill the halacha – “as long as the court is in session”. Rabbi Stein, who blew the shofar, brought the shofar to the synagogue before Rosh Hashana.
In the Jewish quarter, there was another shofar blowing accompanying prayers in a different place, headed by Rabbi Rogin, in the presence of fifteen men. And thus it is also known that there was another minyan that took place in the city headed by Rabbi Leiper, per the rule of Jerusalem, and all the cities near it. Details regarding this minyan and those that participated have not yet been received.
