In partnership with the Pozez JCC Growing Jewish Families program, stop by the CEH sukkah on the second day of Sukkot for a fun Sukkot craft, a nosh and to shake the lulav and etrog. Click here to register.

Hoshanah Rabbah is the seventh day of Sukkot and is considered the last day of liminal period after Yom Kippur but before the fate of the Jewish people is finally and truly sealed for the year. It is a day where we pray for rain and other communal blessings. At its heart, Hoshanah Rabbah is about pleading and praying that God will send the weather we need for our communities to survive. While we may feel distant from our more ancient ancestors, today we are uniquely placed to be able to relate to the desperate hope that our climate will be able to support our living and thriving.

On Simchat Torah we celebrate the new cycle of the Torah reading by singing and dancing around the Sanctuary.

There are seven traditional dances that start with

a special blessing, called hakafot.

After singing and dancing, we will read the Torah together

and give a chance to everyone to have an aliyah.
