In a recent article by Robert Rockaway in the Tablet magazine, he recounts a story that took place in Yom Kippur of 1929 in Detroit, Michigan. That year three famous Jewish Mobsters from the Detroit Jewish led Purple Ring Gang, attended services at the Orthodox Congregation B’nai David in Northwest Detroit. The three men who were all powerful members of the gang had no shortage of what to atone for: The Purple Gang controlled the city’s illegal gambling, smuggled liquor during Prohibition, and was responsible for much of the city’s organized crime. The gang used violence, arson, and lots more tactics when it felt it needed to.
Rosh Hashanah 5775 was marked with multiple beautiful programs for young old and families alike which drew great turnout for all of the events.
