5 High Holiday Traditions & Customs Tashlikh Tradition Continues According to a Jewish tradition, in the afternoon of the first day of Rosh Hashanah (if it falls on Shabbat, the second day) we gather as a community at a stream, brook or creek and symbolically reach into our pockets, remove crumbs and throw our sins away. Our Tashlikh service will be held in the late afternoon of the first day of Rosh Hashanah, Monday, September 10 at 5:30 pm. Join us at Meadowbrook Creek (corner of Kimber Road and Meadowbrook Drive). After our Tashlikh service, we will return to TAY in enough time to relax with a little snack before evening services at 6:30 pm. Newborn Ceremony of Blessing Rosh Hashanah celebrates creation, so what better time than the beginning of the Jewish New Year to affirm the ongoing circle of life through our children. A special Ceremony of Blessing for children born since last Rosh Hashanah will take place in the Goldberg Sanctuary during the Musaf service on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, Monday, September 10.

Eileh Ezkerah & Yom Kippur Study The Martyrology, also known as Eileh Ezkerah, is a standard part of the Musaf service on Yom Kippur. The reflections of the section focus on losses in our history. The section follows the Avodah service, which describes the Yom Kippur Temple service, another section of memory. As we continue using our the mahzor, Lev Shalem, our congregation will follow the mahzor and recite selections from Eileh Ezkerah in its traditional place. On Yom Kippur, Wednesday, September 19 at 4:20 pm, we will join together for an opportunity for study. Yom Kippur Family Havdalah Service As the sun begins to set and the Gates of Heaven, according to tradition, prepare to close, our little ones children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will march down the aisles of the Goldberg Sanctuary, each carrying a special light. As the lights are dimmed,we will say farewell to the High Holy Days and usher in the New Year. This ceremony will take place about 7:15 pm on Yom Kippur Day, Wednesday, September 19th, immediately before the blowing of the shofar. Food Related Customs for Rosh Hashanah Round Challah: Challah can be made in many shapes; braided is typical for Shabbat. The custom on Rosh Hashanah is to have round challot to symbolize the cycle of life. Dipping Apple or Challah in Honey: As a symbol of our wish for a sweet new year, there is a custom to dip a piece of apple or challah in honey and say the following before eating: Y hi ratzon m lifanekha Adonai eloheinu v elohei avoteinu she t hedesh aleinu shanah tovah oom tukah. May it be Your will, Adonai our God and God of our ancestors, to renew this year for us with sweetness and happiness. New Fruit: Another custom is to eat a just-in-season fruit which we have not yet eaten in order to focus on the cycle of seasons and to appreciate our ability to celebrate. The new fruit is eaten between kiddush and ha-motzi, after saying the brakha: Barukh atta Adonai eloheinu melekh ha-olam, boreh pri ha-etz. Praised are You, Adonai, Master of time and space, Creator of tree-fruit.

These items should be new: Backpacks Toothpaste Hairbrush Books Coloring book Stuffed animal Pencils Small toy/activity Toothbrush Soap Tissues Water bottle Crayons Notebook Sharpener Card games With the back-to-school season there should be great deals going on in the stores so it is the perfect time to grab some things next time you are in the store. We would like all of these items to be new. We will have a collection box at the main entrance of Temple Adath Yeshurun, as well as, the entrance downstairs for the Rothschild Early Childhood Center.

8 Temple Adath Yeshurun 450 Kimber Road Syracuse, NY Non-Profit Org. U.S. Postage PAID Syracuse, NY Permit No Yale Strom & Hot Pstromi Presented by Temple Adath Yeshurun & The Sam Pomeranz JCC of Syracuse hosted by Temple Adath Yeshurun 450 Kimber Road, Syracuse Concert: Saturday Evening, November 10 at 7:30 pm Funded by the Steven Zeitlin Memorial Fund Lecture: Sunday Morning, November 11 at 10:30 am Funded by the Abraham & Anita Altman Adult Education Fund Open to the Community Yale Strom & Hot Pstromi is a unique klezmer/ Roma ensemble featuring Elizabeth Schwartz on vocals, David Licht on percussion, Norbert Stachel on reeds, Peter Stan on accordion, Sprocket on contrabass, and Yale Strom. While doing research in Eastern Europe, among the Jewish and Roma musicians, Strom collected many of the tunes the ensemble performs. Strom lived with these people, wrote about them, made filmes about them, and photographed them. All of this comes through the Hot Pstromi s repertoire. The band plays traditional traditional Yiddish/ Klezmer tunes along with Roma tunes. Many people do not know that in some regions of Eastern Europe like eastern Hungary, Carpathian Mountains, Bessarabia the Roma often played with and for Jews as did the Jewish musicians play for and with the Roma musicians. Added to this mix will be a high dosage of improvisation.
