Shabbat Chol HaMoed Sukkot
11 Tishrei 5785 (October 13, 2024)

The Festival of Sukkot, the time of our joy, begins this Shabbat. During this holiday a special Light is available to us called Or Makif (surrounding Light). Our focus during these days should be joy and sharing. It is during this time that we create a temporary dwelling called a sukkah (meaning booth or tabernacle) and practically live in this abode during the 7 days. Modern life doesn't make it so easy to construct a sukkah, either we live in a largely populated area or we may live in a region that is already seeing frost. However, our consciousness during this time should be that we rely on G-d for protection and sustenance. One of the customs of this time is to welcome guests into our sukkah or homes with joy. This is a good time to entertain friends and have festive meals. We should remember that whenever we do something in this world, it is reflected in the Upper Worlds. The Light of Sukkot comes to infuse joy and sharing in our lives. May we be full of joy and brighten the world with the light of gladness during this coming festival.

Shirat Ha-Azinu
Ha-Azinu is the song that Hashem instructed Moses to teach all of Israel. “And now, write for yourselves this song, and teach it to the Children of Israel; place it in their mouths, in order that this song shall be for Me as a witness against the Children of Israel.” (Devarim 31:19) The Rambam speaks of a custom to recite Shirat Ha-Azinu at the end of Weekday Shacharit. The Talmud states that Shirat Ha-Azinu was sung by the Levites during the Musaf Offering of every Shabbat (Rosh HaShanah 31a). Our NEW Shirat Ha-Azinu section of our Siddur can be found in the Weekday Siddur.

Tzedakah
The word צדקה "tzedakah" in Hebrew often is translated as charity, but it actually comes from the root צדק "tzedek" which means righteousness. The addition of the letter ה "Hei" connects righteousness to Malchut. Many people say "giving" tzedakah, but the more appropriate phrase is "doing" tzedakah. Tzedakah is in many ways an exchange of energy and is a visible expression of gratitude in this world for that which we have received, especially when we receive it from an organization that helps us to grow spiritually. We thank you in advance for your generosity and support. Click Here to make an online donation. Visit our DONATE page in order to donate using other methods.

Your Hebrew Name
At the end of the Amidah, we whisper a verse from the Tanach which is associated with our Hebrew name. Would you like to know your Hebrew name and the verse that corresponds to your name? Or would you like us to help you choose a Hebrew name and even have a certificate with your Hebrew name and verse? Email Us for more information.
