Many of you have expressed the fact that Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur have been most fulfilling to them, perhaps most meaningful than ever before. That's a good start... but it doesn't end there:
The Sukkot/Simchat Torah holiday which follows is meant to be the natural next step; the time to celebrate the renewed awareness of our relationship with Hashem which we rediscovered during the High Holidays. So, don't stop here... it would be like doing a great job during the regular season but then not bothering to show up to clinch things in the World Series.
Why not plan to be at shul on Thursday or Friday morning with your family to begin Sukkot on the right foot. And perhaps join us Wednesday night for dinner in the sukkah (rsvp not too late - click here). Also, put Simchat Torah on your calendar, Thursday Sept 30 at 7PM as we celebrate, as well as Friday at 11AM to complete the Torah.
Happy Sukkos!
Rabbi Shalom M. Paltiel
P.S. If you have not yet made your contribution to our New year/Yiskor Appeal, would you help us reach our goal by making a generous contribution? We need your help at this time of year. Thank you!
P.P.S. Please consider making regular Shul attendance, on Shabbat or weekdays, a part of your New Year's resolution. It is a good way to make sure you and your family are always growing Jewish-ly. It also sends a powerful message to the entire family of what's really important. Shall we?

I Have to Eat
By: Rabbi Aron Moss
Sydney, Australia
My husband has a medical condition that does not allow him to fast. His rabbi has told him that he needs to eat on Yom Kippur, but he feels terrible about it. Knowing how important this day is and how fasting is the main way we gain forgiveness, what can I say to my husband to make him feel less guilty about eating on Yom Kippur?

In Everything a Teaching
The Baal Shem Tov taught that from every thing you hear or see in this world you must find a teaching in how to serve G‑d.
In truth, this itself is the whole meaning of service of G‑d.

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.
