There are many local families in our own community that struggle with daily expenses. They certainly need assistance with the additional expenses of celebrating Yom Tov! 100% of your contribution goes to help these families. You can give/mail your check to Rabbi Posner to distribute to those in need.

Whatever your personal style of davening or praying, you’re bound to find what you’re looking for at Chabad.

The Interpretive Service is on the lower level, and features explanations, narration and insights that help make for a more meaningful davening experience. This is great whether you’re an old hand looking for a way to make things fresh, or somewhat less initiated. Try it out, and spread the word to anyone you know who may be interested.

For the teenagers, the place to be is with Rabbi Chaim, who will be davening downstairs with The Jewish Youth House / Shul Club .

Israeli, or favor an Israeli-style Tefilah? Join Rabbi Menachem Slavaticki. The Chabad Israeli Center will be holding Rosh Hashanah services geared towards the Israeli community and we are happy to be hosting them in 4049.

Of course, for those most comfortable in the traditional style of davening, join us in the main Shul, and enjoy Rabbi Raices’ inspirational tunes.

While we generally do not assign seats, it is helpful if we know how many people to prepare for. Let us know that you intend to be here, and whether you will have guests. If you expect to be away, that would useful knowledge for us as well. As you know, we do not charge, but donations are always welcome at www.SkokieChabad.org/donate.

You can see the calendar for scheduled davening times here.

The Kids’ room is shiny and clean and stocked with a great new selection of toys! We are super excited to get things started.

Here’s a more detailed schedule for Rosh Hashanah:

The schedule for Rosh Hashana is: 
9:00 am – 10:30 am: Kids’ Room open for supervised play 
10:30 am – 11:30 am (or Shofar blowing): Groups by ages, snacks available for youngest children. 
11:30 am (or after Shofar blowing)– 1:30 pm (or davening end): Kids’ Room + extended play room open. 
12:00 pm – Snacks will be served 
1:00 pm – Special Entertainment for the kids with Mystery Entertainers.

Please bear in mind the longer hours of davening, and the many things going on in Shul over the Yamim Tovim. As always, you know your child best. Plan accordingly, and be flexible to their needs! If you bring a child to Shul, understand that you may need to keep an eye on him/her. Please encourage and make sure that s/he participates in the appropriate children’s program, and be mindful of other people’s Shul experience.

Thank you to the dedicated and caring teachers who will be making things happen, and to all the parent volunteers too.

We will have live chickens available for Kaparot on Tuesday, October 4, from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm., for those who made reservations in advance.

The Keren Hashana  fund, established by the Rebbe, disburses Tzedakah before Shacharis and before Mincha every day. By contributing to this fund, you are assured that you are giving Tzedakah twice daily. This year has 354 days, so you may want to give multiples of $7.08 (2 times a day x 354 days). You can give for each member of your family. Include Hebrew names and Hebrew names of the mother for each person participating. You can participate in this special fund via our secure website over here.

Check your mailbox for the membership mailing! Make sure to read it so you can fully appreciate everything your favorite shul (Skokie Chabad!) has to offer.

We are looking for hosts for farbrengens on Sukos. If you want to reserve a day, our calendar is ready. Some days are taken so hurry!

Pledges are coming in for the benches we would like to install in front of the Shul building for people to sit on and relax on during these pleasant days. This would certainly add to the comfortable atmosphere and experience of attending Shul. Please help us meet our fundraising goal of $2,000 for two benches, which will be installed by the Village of Skokie. We have reached 25% of our goal so far. For more info please be in touch with Rabbi Yochanan.
