The Yemenites with their special gutteral incantation, the B o u kharan with ever ascending notes that keep going higher and higher, the Ashkenazi Jews with the tunes and prayers carried down through the centuries are all represented in a medley of the most intoxicating music. Old and young, reserve thrown to the wind, sing and dance lustily far into the night. A decorated balcony serves as an entertainment p l a t f o r m . There the guests hear a few words from Rabbi Ishak Yeidda Frankel. Rabbi Frankel came to the Florentine Quarter 3B years ago and serves as a Chief Rabbi, justice of the pea,-e, interpreter of the law, enforcer of order, and mediator of ethnic civil or personal conflict. Much of the credit for the harmony that prevails in this variegated community is due to R a b b i Frankel. With the Simchas Torah celebration, the holiday season is officially closed.
