Dear Friends,

On Sukkot we read in Torah:

   וּשְׂמַחְתֶּם לִפְנֵי יְהוָֹה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם שִׁבְעַת   יָמִֽים.... בַּסֻּכֹּת תֵּֽשְׁבוּ שִׁבְעַת יָמִים כָּל־הָֽאֶזְרָח   בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל  

“And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God…You shall dwell in sukkot seven days, every citizen of Israel”  (Lev.23:40-42).

This year we have a new sukkah and we’ve placed it in a new location – on the yard off the parking lot, next to the building. Please come and “dwell” in this new sukkah. You can also fulfill the mitzvah of “netilat lulav,” lifting and shaking the lulav, etrog, mytle and willow. It’s fun! So come check it out. Just sit quietly and enjoy your coffee or lunch within it. Or, if you let me know you’re coming, I’d be happy to join you.

Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach,

Rabbi Jeffrey Weill
