This is so cool for what it represents.

What does it represent?

A lot of things. A big one would be an Ashkenaz rebbe davening selichot in a style commonly associated in my region exclusively with Sephardim. Many would not here, even though I know one, maybe two, individual Hasidim who do it. It's very interesting and represents something bigger than the divisions to me.

The Ashkenaz, Chassidish and Sephardic minyonim near me all have members of the other groups in them on a regular basis. I haven't been to the Teimani shul (the other three shuls are literally within a max of 2.5 minutes of my building while the Teimani one would take at least 7 long minutes of walking - I'm spoiled) so I don't know who's coming and going there, but there's a Teimani father and son who frequents the Ashkenazi shul here.

I love the Selichos in Yeshivat Ohr HaChaim!
