At all of our holiday celebrations we weave together the tradition of that particular holiday, inclusion of all generations of the congregation, singing and study.
This is true from the beginning of the year Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur to our community Passover seder in the Spring. In addition to services, we embrace many traditions that add to the celebration and mark the holiday. During Sukkot we dine in the Sukkah for Shabbat dinner, eat and study for Shabbat lunch, and even visit the Rabbi’s home to celebrate and make edible art in his Sukkah. Simchat Torah includes an opening of the entire Torah scroll, as well as dancing around the congregation. At Chanukah we hold a big party where we light the menorah, sing songs, and enjoy a festive meal including latkes! Each year we celebrate the “New Year of the Trees,” Tu Bishvat, with a dinner and study session. Of course, at Passover we host a grand 2nd night Seder, and then seven weeks later we stay up until the wee hours of the morning studying Torah during our Tikkun Leyl Shavuot. Come and celebrate the holidays with us!
