- WOW! I have never been at a double Pidyon Haben for two people, well it picked up steam and our Young Adults and Professionals group hosted a Pidyon Haben for FOUR of our participants! Mazel Tov to Eric Rubenstein, David Barsky, Brad Dennen and Leon Trakhtenberg on finally redeeming themselves!! Over 40 young professionals revelled over kabob, burgers and beer and learned the spiritual significance of the redemption of the firstborn!
