Sukkot

Join our Klei Kodesh and make a lulav shake. Services feature Hallel and Festival Musaf. Following services, congregational kiddush is provided in the Sukkah as well as in the Banquet Hall. On Shabbat Hol Hamoed Sukkot, join us at Minẖah as we read Kohelet, the Book of Ecclesiastes, and perhaps learn to chant a chapter. Check the calendar for special events offered to Young Professionals and Families.

Shemini Atzeret and Simẖat Torah

We gather for the final days of the fall festival and penitential season and recite the Yizkor service. Services feature Hallel and Festival Musaf. Hear Cantor Simon Spiro chant Tefillat Geshem, the prayer for rain, at the beginning of the Musaf service.

In the evening, we celebrate the Torah with lively singing and Hakafot in the Kimel Family Gym. Families with young children are welcome in the Mezzanine to participate in a myriad of activities led by our Education Director Daniel Silverman and our Youth director, Aily Leibtag. The next morning, we end the annual cycle of Torah reading and begin it again, honouring our H̱attan/Kallat Torah and H̱attan/Kallat Bereisheet respectively. Following services, make sure to join us at Beth Tzedec’s annual Simẖat Torah Luncheon, this year in honour of our Kallat Torah, Ruth Warner Hyman and our Hattan Bereisheet, Paul Rothstein.
