After a 2 week hiatus, I’m back with information about this week’s services.
Wednesday, October 15 Hoshanah Rabbah
7:30 a.m. Shacharit Chapel
Join us for the final day to take up the lulav and etrog this year, and be part of our 7 processions around the Chapel. We beat the aravah branches on the ground to show our humility before G-d, and then cast them away to mark the end of the Days of Judgment. This is the culmination of the period of teshuvah that began at the beginning of Elul, so make the most of this opportunity!
6:00 p.m. Mincha / Ma’ariv Chapel
Thursday, October 16 Shemini Atzeret
9:00 a.m. Shacharit Sanctuary

Join us for a festive evening of marching, dancing, and singing with the Torah!
Friday, October 17 Simchat Torah
9:00 a.m. Shacharit Sanctuary
Join us for a festive morning of marching, dancing, and singing with the Torah! Everyone, no matter their age, receives an aliyah during the Torah reading, so bring the entire family! After your aliyah, partake of Marvin’s fabulous Simchat Torah kiddush. Then come back for Musaf and try to guess this year’s musical theme prepared by Hazzan Grosss.

Remember – please refrain from turning on your cell phones in the Synagogue on Shabbat and Yom Tov.
Pease help us with our weekday and Saturday evening minyanim. In the summer, Saturday evening services begin at 9:00 p.m. almost every week, and we can use a great deal of assistance in order to provide a minyan for those saying Kaddish. If you have no plans on a particular Saturday evening, please join us for services (and for the meal an hour earlier).
Morning services begin at 7:30 a.m., and we serve breakfast following services; Afternoon services begin at 6:00 p.m. Saturday evening (end of Shabbat) services vary according to sunset (see time in the calender above this paragraph).
There are upcoming opportunities to read Haftarah on a Shabbat. The next open Shabbat is November 8 (Parashat Vayera). In addition, with our move to a triennial reading cycle, shorter readings are available many weeks for those who would like to read Torah. If you are interested in a particular date, please contact me.
Check out other pages on the blog for information about tefilah. New pages have been posted, including recordings of both the weekday Mincha and Ma’ariv services.
Would you like to sponsor weekday breakfast Seudah Shelishit in the future? Call Denise in the synagogue office to inquire about available dates.
Questions? Call me (248-851-5100 x 230) or send me an email ( blippitt@adatshalom.org ) .
Chag Sameach and Shabbat Shalom!
