Shemini Atzeret Simchat Torah (Oct. 4-6) On the evenings of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah (Oct. 4 & 5) singing and dancing are held in the synagogue celebrating our connection to the Torah.

Shabbat Bereshit Bereshit is the beginning of the weekly Torah reading cycle. A Chassidic adage says: the way one sets out on Shabbat Bereshit, the entire year will follow.

Cheshvan 7 (Oct. 20) During the time of the Holy Temple the economy of Israel was solely dependent on rain (for crops).

This was in order not to inconvenience the pilgrims who lived the furthest from Israel (who would still be on their way home after spending the holidays at the Temple in Jerusalem). What is a Mezuzah?

3 Shemini Atzeret Simchat Torah (Oct. 4-6) On the evenings of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah (Oct. 4 & 5) singing and dancing are held in the synagogue celebrating our connection to the Torah. On Simchat Torah, we conclude and begin anew the annual Torah reading cycle. The event is marked with great rejoicing, and hakafot procession, in which we march and dance with the Torah scrolls. Shabbat Bereshit Bereshit is the beginning of the weekly Torah reading cycle. A Chassidic adage says: the way one sets out on Shabbat Bereshit, the entire year will follow. Rosh Chodesh The first day of each Hebrew month is called Rosh Chodesh [lit. head of the Month]. It is considered a minor holiday, when one is encouraged to partake of a semi-festive meal. Cheshvan 7 (Oct. 20) During the time of the Holy Temple the economy of Israel was solely dependent on rain (for crops). Yet, they waited until Cheshvan 7, two weeks after Sukkot, to begin prayers for rain. This was in order not to inconvenience the pilgrims who lived the furthest from Israel (who would still be on their way home after spending the holidays at the Temple in Jerusalem). What is a Mezuzah? A small parchment scroll, which contains the Shema, a mezuzah placed on the entrances of the home reflects the holiness of the home that one is about to enter. The decorative case is not the mezuzah though it enhances the beauty of this mitzvah. All 713 letters of a mezuzah, are handwritten on the parchment by an ordained scribe who carefully follows many laws governing it. In addition to its role as a declaration and reminder of our faith, the mezuzah is also a symbol of G-d s watchful care over the home. The name of G-d, Sha-dai, which appears on the reverse side of the parchment is an acronym for guardian of the doorways of Israel. The placing of a mezuzah on the doors protects the inhabitants - whether they are inside or not. The letters in a mezuzah can be effected by the elements, especially an outdoors one, therefore we have them checked every 2 years to assure that nothing have faded or cracked. Affix a mezuzah on the right doorpost as one enters, in a slanted position with the top pointed toward the inside and on the bottom of the upper third of the doorpost.
