Yom Kippur is really a joyous day. Not in the dancing & celebrating way... But in fact it;s quite happy and uplifting, in the realization that we are G‑d's beloved children from whom He expects an annual day of reflection and reconnecting. This special bond is then celebrated in a big way during Sukkot and Simchat Torah.
Here are some ways to make these days more special for you and your family:
- Light a 24 hours candle (regardless of whether you say Yiskor) at home on the eve of Yom Kippur (Friday before sunset). It is also recommended to light another 24 hour candle at shul. Bring one along to kindle in the special place for it in the Shul kitchen.
- Walk to and from shul this Yom Kippur. You can park your car on Friday before sunset at Chabad, or on Channel Drive. No tickets will be given, and leave the car there until Saturday night. I understand this may take some extra effort, especially if you don't live close to Chabad... but this is the right way to "Yom Kippur."
- Visit the gravesite of a loved one for prayers. A visit to the Rebbe's gravesite is very meaningful as well. Click here for information and directions or contact myself or Rabbi Weinberg for info.
- Get a Lulav & Etrog set for your family for Sukkot. Click here to purchase one. If you are a Chabad member you are entitled to a complimentary set but you must ask for it by clicking here.
- Arrange for a Sukkah for your family. For around $600 you can have a nice, easy to erect, cozy sukkah delivered to your home, which you can then use year after year. (Works well for childrens clubhouse during the rest of the year if desired...) Click here to purchase a sukkah.
- Have your family join our Dinner in the Sukkah next Wednesday evening, the first night of Sukkot. Click here to RSVP.
- Finally, begin thinking about what your New Year mitzvah resolutions will be. I suggest two mitzvah resolutions: 1. a mitzvah you do for yourself (e.g. tefillin, Shabbat Candles, prayer, Torah study) 2. a mitzvah that includes the entire family (e.g. Shabbat at shul, Shabbat dinner, Mezuzot in the home).
May it be an easy and meaningful, uplifting day of Yom Kippur.
Wishing you and yours a Gmar Chasima Tova, that you may be inscribed and sealed in the Book of Good Life and blessings.
Rabbi Shalom M. Paltiel

Our Voice
What do we bring to the table?
Our brains, our power, our art are all from Him.
Even when we decide with our own free will to do good and to restrain ourselves from the opposite, we are only playing our part in a cosmic script for which we were formed.
But when we mess up, we can call the Infinite Light, "Father," and ask forgiveness.
That is not in the script. That is from beyond.
Way beyond.

Parshat Vezot Haberachah
The Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret Torah readings are from Leviticus 22-23, Numbers 29, and Deuteronomy 14-16. These readings detail the laws of the moadim or "appointed times" on the Jewish calendar for festive celebration of our bond with G‑d; including the mitzvot of dwelling in the sukkah (branch-covered hut) and taking the "Four Kinds" on the festival of Sukkot; the offerings brought in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem on Sukkot, and the obligation to journey to the Holy Temple to "to see and be seen before the face of G‑d" on the three annual pilgrimage festivals — Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot.
On Simchat Torah ("Rejoicing of the Torah") we conclude, and begin anew, the annual Torah-reading cycle. First we read the Torah section of Vezot Haberachah, which recounts the blessings that Moses gave to each of the twelve tribes of Israel before his death. Echoing Jacob's blessings to his twelve sons five generations earlier, Moses assigns and empowers each tribe with its individual role within the community of Israel.
Vezot Haberachah then relates how Moses ascended Mount Nebo from whose summit he saw the Promised Land. "And Moses the servant of G‑d died there in the Land of Moab by the mouth of G‑d... and no man knows his burial place to this day." The Torah concludes by attesting that "There arose not a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom G‑d knew face to face... and in all the mighty hand and the great awesome things which Moses did before the eyes of all Israel."
Immediately after concluding the Torah, we begin it anew by reading the first chapter of Genesis (the beginning of next Shabbat's Torah reading) describing G‑d's creation of the world in six days and His ceasing work on the seventh—which He sanctified and blessed as a day of rest.
