Rabbi's message
Dear Friend,

We have reached a time to celebrate. Coming off the High Holidays, sealed for a good and sweet year, Sukkot and Simchat Torah are the season of our rejoicing.

Join us in the sukkah, out on the block at our street festival, and for the dancing on Simchat Torah. All the details are below.

Wishing you a Chag Sameach — Rabbi Shlomo Cohen

Sukkot Street Festival
Thursday, October 1 · 2:00 PM
E 14th Street between Avenue X & Avenue Y
Admission $10 per person
Bring the family out to the block — shake the lulav, sit in the sukkah, and celebrate with your neighbors.
 
Lulav & etrog
A mitzvah unique to Sukkot is taking the Four Kinds: an etrog (citron), a lulav (palm frond), three hadassim (myrtle) and two aravot (willow).

The Midrash teaches that the Four Kinds represent the different personalities that make up the community of Israel — whose unity we celebrate on Sukkot. Sets are available at Chabad; reach out to reserve yours.
 
Simchat Torah celebration
Sing. Dance. Celebrate.

We complete the annual Torah reading and start again — young and old become the legs of the Torah, enabling it to dance. Kiddush, refreshments and plenty of l'chaims. Hakafot Friday 7:30 PM, Motzei Shabbos 8:00 PM, and Sunday morning 11:30 AM.

Join us for warm, festive Yom Tov meals in the sukkah — inspiration, tradition and plenty of good food. All meals are at Chabad of Sheepshead Bay.
