Sukah Party for Women

 

     

Women! Join us after Shabbat at 8:00 p.m. in the sukah of Zeesy Posner, 3912 Church, for a Sukos gathering.

8th Day Concert: Music so Powerful, Tables Collapse.

This isn't your mother's Jewish country indie folk rock band! Join Lubavitch Chabad of Skokie and the Jewish Youth House at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts, 9501 Skokie Blvd., for an amazing concert with breakaway hit band, 8th Day!
We are excited to have nabbed a great block of seats, where we can be up close to all the energy and action. Eighth Day is most well-known for their danceably fun song, Ya'alili and their Jewish folksy, country, hip indie rock vibe. They are legendary at Skokie Chabad for having played the music that makes tables collapse! (Photos from that Purim are here :)
Each member of our group will receive a complimentary T-shirt customized for the event. To order your tickets email us at [email protected]. Tickets are limited so hurry, you don't want to miss this great event. Fun for the whole family.

Timely Reminders

We continue to say "L'Dovid.." (annotated Tehilas Hashem Sidur, p. 76, 115, 220, 267) in Shacharis and Mincha through Wednesday, Hoshana Raba.

We do not say Tachnun until the end of the month of Tishrei.

Earliest Tallis: on Monday it is 6:14 am, Wednesday it is 6:17 am * 
*) The time we are posting is primarily with our weekday 6:30 minyan attendees in mind. If someone must daven earlier, please be aware that there are other opinions of how to calculate this.

In order to be permitted to prepare on Sukos for Shabbos, remember to make an Eruv Tavshillin on Erev Sukos (10/12) & on Hashana Raba (10/19). Instructions and what to say are on page 327 in the annotated Tehilas Hashem Sidur.

It is customary to eat a festive seudah meal on each day of Chol Hamoed. More about Chol Hamoed is explained here:

On Hoshana Raba we will have Hoshanos available at Shacharis for $4.50. 
During the day on Hoshana Raba we have a Yomtovdike Seudah, dip the Hamotzi in honey, and eat Kreplach. You can read more here: http://www.skokiechabad.org/757453
