Rabbbi Amnon Yitzhak addressed Jews worldwide on Sunday evening.

The Internet broadcast of a U.S. unity rally organized by Rabbi Amnon Yitzhak, a well-known Charedi Israeli rabbi of Yemenite origin, hit No. 9 in Google’s Top 10 searches on Sunday evening.

The rally, “Let’s All Get Together,” was broadcast live from Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New York via USTREAM.TV. The Web site for Shofar, an organization founded by Yitzhak that encourages non-Orthodox Jews to become ba’alei teshuvah, carried the broadcast. The Web site regularly distributes audio and video of his lectures.

Yitzhak, who delivered his speech in Hebrew to a crowd of about 18,000 attendees, was expected to call for 1 million to become ba’alei teshuvah within the next year, according to the 5 Towns Jewish Times.

Based on Google results, 47 percent of the Web traffic came from New York City area.
