This enabled the office to get tickets out to you by now and have the Yizkor book completed on time. The office staff can now focus on processing orders from non-members going to the Playhouse Family Experience. Your support of the Shul helps our community stay strong, and provide the best service and support for each other. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: The Shul needs volunteers for the following in order to be ready for Rosh Hashanah: 1) High School age Leaders, who wish to acquire community hours, for the children's program at the City Playhouse ; 2) Strong people to get the Machzorim out of storage and into bookcases on Sunday morning Sept. 9 AM; 3) Anyone to help set up the Kiddush bags on Sunday morning Sept. 9 AM. The last two tasks should not take more than one half hour if we have enough volunteers. Please contact the Rabbi at yossi@rogers.com if you are interested in any of the above opportunities to help out. PROZBUL FORMS: As we end this Shmita year, the Rabbi is able to assist you in filling out Prozbul forms in order for you to collect outstanding debts after Shmita. The Rabbi will convene a Beis Din for this purpose after Shacharis this Sunday morning Sept. 6th. (see attached forms for further explanation of this legal process) THANK YOU TO ANN & DAN WEISZMANN FOR THE USE OF THEIR BOAT AT THE WOMEN S CRUISE SELICHOS BEGINS THIS SUNDAY MORNING AT 7:20 AM - THE SHUL HAS SELICHOS BOOKS FOR YOUR USE

5 Instructions for Pruzbul Forms Laws of Pruzbul (see Choshen Mishpat, Siman 67): 1. At the end of the seventh year of the Sh mitah cycle, all loans are nullified, including credit agreements and wage agreements that have been converted to loan agreements. (As the guidelines regarding rental agreements that have been converted to loan agreements are complex, it is best to make a Pruzbul in such cases.) 2. One who wishes to collects his loans after the Sh mitah year must make a Pruzbul before the time that the loans are nullified (i.e. the end of the Sh mitah year). Typically, this is done during the month of Elul. 3.The lender asks three men to sit as judges on a Beis Din. (The individuals must be Torah observant men who are not related to one another, to the lender or to the borrower.) The lender declares before them: I submit to you judges in this place all of the loans that I have outstanding, and I therefore may collect these loans at any time that I desire. The lender then fills in the Pruzbul form attached as evidence that he made a Pruzbul. 4. One may make one Pruzbul for all of the loans past due that he has extended. Therefore, the name of the borrower is omitted from the Pruzbul forms. 5. The borrower must have (even through renting ) a lien on some amount of land on which the Pruzbul can attach a lien, even a small amount of land. If one suspects that the borrower has no land, the lender may sell land to the borrower from his own land. This is accomplished by one of the judges (or witnesses) handing a handkerchief to the lender by which all of the borrowers acquire a small amount of land from the lender. 6. The date that the Pruzbul is written must be recorded. The Pruzbul is effective for all loans made before that date. If one makes a loan after the date of the Pruzbul, a new Pruzbul must be written for that loan. If the lender suspects that he will not find suitable judges for a new Pruzbul, he should lend the money and stipulate that he cannot collect the money until the Third of Tishrei which is after the completion of the seventh year. 7. Both men and women are obligated to perform a Pruzbul. A married woman only needs to perform a Pruzbul if she has made loans with her separate assets. 8. If one writes a Pruzbul and it gets lost, he does not have to write a new Pruzbul to replace the lost one. ******************************************************************* PRUZBUL FORM BEFORE A BEIS DIN In the presence of the undersigned three judges (dayanim), duly constituting a Bet Din, there appeared before us who declared before us as follows: I hereby turn over to you judges [insert names], and, in this place [insert place name] all of the debts owed to me, whether or not the debts are evidenced in writing, so that I may therefore collect these debts at any time that I desire. We the undersigned Bet Din heard the declaration of the above-described person and have empowered such person to avoid having his (or her) debts canceled by Shmita and he (or she) may therefore collect all of his (or her) debts by virtue of this Pruzbul in accordance with the special enactment of Hillel and Chazal. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we hereby affix our signatures this day of, 5775, here in. Signed:, dayan Signed:, dayan Signed:, dayan

7 1 How to Celebrate Rosh Hashanah 5776 Erev Rosh Hashanah: 1. It is customary [but not mandatory] to fast until Halachik mid-day. [1:13 PM] 2. Additional Selichos are said in the morning. 3. No Tachanun is said during the morning service. 4. We do not blow the Shofar after the morning service. 5. One should nullify his / her vows before 3 people in a language that you understand. See Artscroll Siddur pg Women can appoint their husbands as their agents to nullify their vows for them. Other women rely on the Kol Nidrei ceremony to nullify their vows. 6. It is customary to visit the cemetery. 7. One should spend time doing Teshuvah, giving charity, learning, and asking forgiveness from other people. Before Rosh Hashanah actually begins, one should resolve to strive to focus on improving a specific area on conduct during the New Year. 8. One should preferably take a shave and haircut before Halachik Mid- day. [1:13 PM] 9. Men should immerse in the Mikveh no earlier than one hour before Halachik Midday. [12:13 PM] 10.One should familiarize oneself with the Machzor. 11. One should wear festive clothing, but in moderation. Save new clothing for the second night of Yom Tov. 12.It is customary to bake or purchase Challah in the form of a circle, ladder, or bird. 13.One should be careful not to display anger or even become angry during these special days. 14.Remember that on Rosh Hashanah one is permitted to cook or bake from a preexisting fire. You need not have all your food cooked before Yom Tov. [Which is generally required to be done for Shabbos.] Consult with your Rabbi to learn more of the Halachik details involved. 15.It is preferable and practical to light a 24 hour Yartzeit candle before Yom Tov, so that you will have a pre-existing flame to use throughout the first day of Yom Tov. This flame will be the one that you can light candles from on the second night of Rosh Hashanah. First Evening of Rosh Hashanah: 1. Women light candles either at the regular time of candle lighting [7:14 PM] or from a pre-existing flame when the men come home from Shul and are ready to eat. They make 2 blessings: One for the Mitzvah of lighting the Yom Tov candles and the other Shehechiyanu blessing. [If a woman forgets to light candles at these two times, she may light them from a pre-existing flame the entire evening.] 2. Men should daven Minchah with a Minyan and everyone should say Minchah with extra concentration, as it is the final prayer of the year The earliest time to either light candles or make Kiddush is after 6:13 PM.

8 insertions are made in the Maariv Amidah [and for all Amidahs through Yom Kippur], which are found in the Artscroll Machzor on pages 62, 64, 66, and 72. One must repeat the Amidah if one forgot to insert Hamelech Hakadosh. 5. Special greetings are given to friends and family members after Maariv and before Kiddush. May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year [immediately, for a good life and for peace]. See Artscroll Machzor pg. 90 for the Hebrew text. This greeting should only be said on the first night. Greetings for the remainder of Rosh Hashanah should be limited to Shana Tova, Happy New Year, Chag Samayach, or Good Yom Tov. 6. After making the special Yom Tov Kiddush and washing our hands, we make a Brocha over two Challahs, and cut the top Challah. 7. Challah is dipped in honey [some have the custom to dip the Challah into salt as well]. 8. Symbolic foods are eaten at the evening meal. See Artscroll Machzor pg The first symbolic fruit to be eaten should be the date. You should make the blessing Borei Pri Ha etz on that fruit, keeping in mind the other fruits you will be eating on this night. Eat a little of it, followed by the special Yehi Ratzon prayer, and then finish the date. There are no other blessings made on the symbolic foods. One does say the special Yehi Ratzon prayer before eating each of the symbolic foods. 9. If one is not able to eat any of the symbolic foods, one may look at them and say the special Yehi Ratzon prayer. 10.Some have a custom to avoid eating sour or bitter foods and nuts. 11. Remember to make the proper insertions during the Birchas Hamazon. 12.It is a custom to learn one Chapter of Mishnayos from Tractate Rosh Hashanah after each of the Yom Tov meals. First Day of Rosh Hashanah: 1. Men should come on time to Shul and say the Amidah with a Minyan. 2. The Shema should be recited before 10:04 AM. 3. One should optimally listen to 100 blasts of the Shofar on both days of Rosh Hashanah. 30 are blown before Mussaf. 30 are blown during the repetition. 40 are blown at the end of the service. 4. Men are obligated to hear the Shofar. Women are technically exempt from hearing the Shofar; however, it has become customary for women to hear at least 30 blasts of the Shofar. 5. Children, who are old enough to silently listen to the Shofar, should be encouraged to do so. Little children, who will disturb the service, may not be brought to Shofar blowing. 6. It is forbidden to talk while the Shofar is being blown. One should not speak from the time that the blessings on the Shofar are made until after hearing the 100 th and final note. Only under extenuating circumstances may one talk after hearing the first 30 blasts.

9 3 Afternoon: 1. One is obligated to eat Challah and have a meal on both days of Rosh Hashanah. 2. One should not sleep in the afternoon. [One may be lenient on the second day.] 3. It is not the custom to visit friends in the afternoon. 4. Any free time in the afternoon should be spent learning Torah or doing Teshuvah or doing acts of kindness. It is not a time for idle chatter. 5. After Minchah, it is customary to go to Tashlich. 6. The custom in to recite Tashlich preferably at a body of running water [i.e. a river or stream] where fish are found. If that is not possible, one can say it by any body of water even a well. 7. When reciting the word Vesashlich, it is customary to shake out the corners or pockets of your outer garments, which are empty. 8. It is forbidden to throw any crumbs of food into the water. [or to feed the or ducks] 9. Tashlich was not designed to be a venue for socializing. [One is permitted to invite guests for meals and should make an effort to keep the discussions focused on the theme and spirit of Rosh Hashanah.] Second Evening of Rosh Hashanah: 1. One should pray the evening service after Tashlich. It is preferable to say it after the stars come out, or at least after sunset. 2. One may not make any Yom Tov preparations for the second night, light candles, or make Kiddush until after 8:12 PM. 3. Candle lighting and Kiddush are done in the same way as on the first night. 4. One should wear a new garment for candle lighting / the second evening meal. It is questionable as to whether one can make a Shehechiyanu blessing on any fruits. The only fruit that one, who lives in Toronto, can definitely say the Shehechiyanu blessing is on pumpkins and Ontario concord grapes. 5. Some people have the custom to eat the symbolic foods and recite the special prayers at this meal as well. Second day of Rosh Hashanah: 1. The procedures for this day are the same as the first day. The exception being that we do not go to Tashlich again. If it rained on the first day or you were not able to go to Tashlich [or the first day was Shabbos], you should do so on the second day. [If one does not have the opportunity to go to Tashlich on both days of Yom Tov, you are permitted to do it until the seventh day of Succos Hoshana Rabbah.] 2. We make Havdalah by saying the blessing "Borei Pri Hagofen" & "Hamavdil" at the conclusion of Yom Tov.

10 4 Rosh Hashanah: Yehi Ratzon Symbolic Foods Text and Instructions All of the Yehi Ratzons start out the same way: "Yehi Ratzon Mil'fa'necha, Ad-noi El-heinu Vei'l-hai Avosainu..." (The "-" represents the letter "o," which was purposely left out so as not to write out the name of G-d.) "May it be your will, Hashem our G-d and the G-d of our forefathers..." Listed below are the various foods and the endings, which are appropriate to them: For dates: "...She'yitamu son'ainu." "...that our enemies be consumed." For pomegranate: "...she'nirbeh ze'chu'yos k'rimon" "...that our merits increase like (the seeds of) a pomegranate." For the apple in the honey: "...she'tichadesh aleinu shana tova u'm'tuka." "...that you renew us for a good and sweet year." For fenugreek (or carrots - as the Yiddish word for carrots - Mehren - can also mean "to increase," this Yehi Ratzon is appropriate as well): "...She'yir'bu ze'chuyo'sainu." "...that our merits increase." For leek or cabbage: "...She'yikar'su son'ainu." "...that our enemies be decimated." For beets: "...She'yistalku oy'vainu." "...that our adversaries be removed." For gourd: "...She'yikora g'zar de'nainu v'yikaru l'fanecha zechu'yosainu." "...that the decree of our sentence be torn up and may our merits be proclaimed before you." For fish: "...She'nif'reh v'nir'beh ki'dagim." "...that we be fruitful and multiply like fish." For the head of a fish or sheep: "...She'ni'hiyeh l'rosh v'lo l'zanav." "...that we be as the head and not as the tail." All of these Yehi Ratzons are said on the first night of Rosh Hashanah, after Kiddush has been made, after the blessing over the Challos (breads) has been made and the bread has been eaten. (There are those who have the custom to eat these foods and recite the Yehi Ratzon on the second night as well.) After the bread has been eaten, one should take the date, make the blessing that one would normally make on fruit [ Borei Pri Ha etz ], and then take a bite of the date. Before one has eaten the whole date, one should recite the Yehi Ratzon. After the date, one can then have all, none, or some of the other foods.
