9 High Holiday Home Service Information Rosh Hashanah Evenings Sunday, October 2 nd and Monday, October 3 rd The New Year, like the Sabbath and Festivals, is welcomed in the home with prayer and festivity. Congregational ritual is enriched when preceded by family and friends celebrating at home. The table should be given a festive appearance flowers and an attractive table will help everyone feel the significance of the occasion. At each plate there is a bit of honey, a slice of apple and a cup of wine. Two loaves of challah are also on the table. On both evenings light the candles and recite the following blessings: בּ רוּך א תּ ה יהוה א לה ינוּ מ ל ך ה עו ל ם א שׁ ר ק דּ שׁ נוּ בּ מ צ ו ת יו ו צ וּ נוּ ל ה ד ל יק נ ר שׁ ל )שׁ בּ ת ו שׁ ל( יו ם טו ב. Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, asher kidishanu b mitzvotav vetsivanu l hadlik ner shel (on Friday evening add: Shabbat ve) Yom Tov. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by Your mitzvot and commanded us to kindle (on Friday evening add: the Sabbath and) the Festival lights. בּ רוּך א תּ ה יהוה א לה ינוּ מ ל ך ה עו ל ם שׁ ה ח י נוּ ו ק ימ נוּ ו ה גּ יע נוּ ל זּ מ ן ה זּ ה. Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, shehechiyanu v kiyemanu v higianu lazman hazeh. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive, preserved us and enabled us to reach this season. After the Rosh Hashanah Kiddush is said over the wine and the hamotzi recited over the challah, all present dip a slice of the apple in honey and recite: Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, boray p ri ha-etz. בּ רוּך א תּ ה יהוה א לה ינוּ מ ל ך ה עו ל ם בּוֹר א פּ ר י ה ע ץ. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the tree. Congregation Beth Judea 5777 High Holiday Guide Page 9

10 Yom Kippur 5777 Fasting in the Jewish Tradition Jewish tradition obligates us to fast on Yom Kippur as an expression of remorse and repentance. It also helps us to achieve the kind of undistracted concentration and introspection that is the essence of the Yom Kippur experience. Moreover, while fasting we identify with the suffering and hunger of all peoples throughout the world. This religious obligation, however, applies only to those whose health permits them to fast. Worshipers who are in doubt should consult with their personal physician before beginning the sundown to sundown fast. As we consider the religious obligation to fast, it is appropriate to think of those who are hungry involuntarily and participate in the Project Isaiah Food Drive. Children below the age of Bar/Bat Mitzvah should be taught to fast by beginning with a few hours fast and increasing it each year until at thirteen they fast throughout Yom Kippur. The fast begins with the kindling of Yom Kippur candles and concludes with the sounding of the Shofar at the end of Neilah. Yom Kippur Eve Tuesday, October 11 th Unlike the meal held on the eves of Sabbaths and other festivals, there are no special rituals connected with the Erev Yom Kippur meal, because it is eaten before the sacred day begins. The Mitzvot of Hamotzi and the Birkat Hamazon should be observed as at any meal. This meal, which is called Seudah Mafseket (the concluding meal before a fast) should begin early so that it is completed before the onset of the Holy Day. No kiddush is recited. The candles are lit and the following is recited: בּ רוּך א תּ ה יהוה א לה ינוּ מ ל ך ה עו ל ם א שׁ ר ק דּ שׁ נוּ בּ מ צ ו ת יו ו צ וּ נוּ ל ה ד ל יק נ ר שׁ ל )שׁ בּ ת ו שׁ ל( יוֹם ה פּוּר ים. Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam asher kidishanu b mitzvotav vetsivanu lehadlik ner shel Yom Hakippurim. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by Your mitzvot, who commands us to kindle the lights of the Day of Atonement. בּ רוּך א תּ ה יהוה א לה ינוּ מ ל ך ה עו ל ם שׁ ה ח י נוּ ו ק ימ נוּ ו ה גּ יע נוּ ל זּ מ ן ה זּ ה. Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, shehechiyanu v kiyemanu v higianu lazman hazeh. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive, preserved us and enabled us to reach this season. Congregation Beth Judea 5777 High Holiday Guide Page 10

11 Sukkot 5777 It is a mitzvah for every Jew to participate in the building and decoration of a sukkah which, by tradition, we begin to construct immediately after the conclusion of Yom Kippur. The sukkah may be built in a yard or on a roof or on a balcony. If you are not building your own Sukkah, consider assisting in the building or decorating of the Sukkah at the synagogue or at the home of friends. You are also encouraged to purchase a lulav and etrog that will be used throughout the festival. Those who have a lulav and etrog will participate in processions with the Torah (not on Shabbat and not on Shemini Atzeret or Simchat Torah) during the morning services. To order a lulav and etrog contact the synagogue office at The following blessing is recited while holding the lulav and etrog: בּ רוּך א תּ ה יהוה א לה ינוּ מ ל ך ה עו ל ם א שׁ ר ק דּ שׁ נוּ בּ מ צ ו ת יו ו צ וּ נוּ ע ל נ ט יל ת לוּל ב. Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam asher kidishanu bemitvotav vetsivanu al netilat lulav. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by Your mitzvot, who commands us for the taking of lulav. Home Service for Sukkot Eves Sunday and Monday Evenings, October 16 th and 17 th Eating meals in the sukkah is a most enjoyable way to celebrate this festival. Inviting friends to share meals in the sukkah enhances the joy of the holiday. The Sukkot candles are lighted and the following blessing recited: בּ רוּך א תּ ה יהוה א לה ינוּ מ ל ך ה עו ל ם א שׁ ר ק דּ שׁ נוּ בּ מ צ ו ת יו ו צ וּ נוּ ל ה ד ל יק נ ר שׁ ל )שׁ בּ ת ו שׁ ל( יו ם טו ב. Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, asher kidishanu b mitzvotav vetsivanu l hadlik ner (on Friday: Shabbat ve) shel yom tov. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by Your mitzvot and commanded us to kindle the (on Friday evening add: Sabbath and) Festival lights. בּ רוּך א תּ ה יהוה א לה ינוּ מ ל ך ה עו ל ם שׁ ה ח י נוּ ו ק ימ נוּ ו ה גּ יע נוּ ל זּ מ ן ה זּ ה. Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, shehechiyanu v kiyemanu v higianu lazman hazeh. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive, preserved us and enabled us to reach this season. Congregation Beth Judea 5777 High Holiday Guide Page 11

12 Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah The concluding day of Sukkot has come to be known as Shemini Atzeret. While it is of rabbinic origin, it has taken on the same obligations as the biblically ordained days of Sukkot. Simchat Torah developed later in Jewish history, but it too has become equivalent to a biblical holiday. On both days we attend Yom Tov services at shul evening and morning, and light candles on the evening prior to the onset of the day. Just as on Shabbat or the first days of the festival, we have family meals on the evening leading into these days and for the second meal after morning services. Home Service for Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah Eves Sunday and Monday Evenings October 23 rd and 24 th The candles are lighted and the following blessing recited: בּ רוּך א תּ ה יהוה א לה ינוּ מ ל ך ה עו ל ם א שׁ ר ק דּ שׁ נוּ בּ מ צ ו ת יו ו צ וּ נוּ ל ה ד ל יק נ ר שׁ ל )שׁ בּ ת ו שׁ ל( יו ם טו ב. Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, asher kidishanu b mitzvotav vetsivanu l hadlik ner (on Friday: Shabbat ve) shel yom tov. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by Your mitzvot and commanded us to kindle the (on Friday evening add: Sabbath and) Festival lights. בּ רוּך א תּ ה יהוה א לה ינוּ מ ל ך ה עו ל ם שׁ ה ח י נוּ ו ק ימ נוּ ו ה גּ יע נוּ ל זּ מ ן ה זּ ה. Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, shehechiyanu v kiyemanu v higianu lazman hazeh. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive, preserved us and enabled us to reach this season. Congregation Beth Judea 5777 High Holiday Guide Page 12
