Kiddush Sponsors

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.

In order to be permitted to prepare on Sukos for Shabbos, remember to make an Eruv Tavshillin on Erev Sukos (9/18) & on Hashana Raba (9/25). 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.
