September 2007 "Upcoming Events":
Sukkot
Dwelling in the Sukkah!
More than half of Sukkot is left and so we invite you to
join your fellow congregants for a repast or simply a respite in our *NEW* 16'x24' Sukkah!!!
Please come by the shul anytime during the week of Sukkot and have lunch or dinner (no ham sandwiches, please!) or just to sit
and enjoy the Sukkah and the holiday. Just remember: It is a mitzvah
to simply sit in a Sukkah during the
holiday of Sukkot!
Please join us for a Yom Tov lunch in the Sukkah (weather permitting) after Shemini Atzeret service, which include a Yizkor service,
Sukkah Prayers
When you are seated in the Sukkah, you may recite the following blessing:
Barukh atah Adonai, Eloheinu melekh ha-olam, asher kideshanu b'mitz'votav v'tzivanu leisheiv basukkah.
Blessed
are you, Adonai our G-d, Sovereign of the Universe, who has made us
holy through your commandments, and commanded us to dwell in the Sukkah.
Also, please don't forget the blessing upon your first visit to the Sukkah:
Barukh atah Adonai, Eloheinu melekh ha-olam, shehechianu v'kiyamanu v'higiyanu lazman hazeh.
Blessed
are you, Adonai our G-d, Sovereign of the Universe, for granting us
life, for sustaining us, and for bringing us to this day.
