Aseries of five fantastic days of daz-zling Creation from light to solarsystems to grass and trees—yet noneof those days were designated as the

Head of the New Year. Why isn’t Day One ofCreation designated as Rosh Hashanah?Why Day Six, the day on which G-d blew thebreath of life into the very soil to createAdam?

Chassidic thought explains that G-dcreated the universe for a purpose andequipped the universe for that purpose. Andonly when Man was created could thepurpose of the universe begin to be realized.

We may often wonder why G-d created auniverse in which we spend most of ourtime on rather ordinary pursuits, not spiri-tual treks. Life finds us stuck in traffic farmore often than it finds us contemplatinginfinity.

But that’s precisely the plan. G-d wantsus in that traffic, on the go, pounding thatpavement, to make it all a place where He iswelcomed and not feared or shunned.

For maximum results, G-d needs part-ners, not well-wishers—people who putaside what they want and do what He wants.G-d pledges the same: He will move heavenand earth (literally!) for your sake.

As a new year begins, we commit our-selves to more than loyalty—we commitourselves to partnership with G-d in Hisplan for the Universe. On Rosh Hashanah wemake G-d’s objective our personal objective,doing for Him what only we can do for Him.

Growing TogetherThe High Holidays encompass the holi-

days of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur,Sukkot, Shmini Atzeret and Simchat Torah.This period echoes the wide range of emo-tions we all feel.

From the most somber and solemn fes-tivals to the most joyous festivals on the Jew-ish calendar, this is the season that has it all.By reflecting our many feelings, The HighHolidays teach us that despite our outsidedifferences, we are all united and very muchthe same.

None of us are perfect; each of us sharesa universal concept during each holiday. OnRosh Hashanah, we hear the age-old blast ofthe shofar, and on Yom Kippur, we share theneed for forgiveness. On Sukkot, we shakethe lulav and etrog together, and we certainlyall feel the joy and happiness of SimchatTorah.

As we share in these monumental eventsat the start of the year, we are reminded tostand united and strong throughout the restof the year. Through learning andexperiencing our rich cultural and religiousheritage as a group, we strengthen ourselves,because we do it together.

The Jewish month of Elul is tradi-tionally a time to review one’s deedsand spiritual progress over the pastyear and prepare for the upcoming

“Days of Awe” of Rosh Hashanah and YomKippur. It is a most opportune time forteshuvah (return to G-d), prayer, charity, andincreased love for a fellow man, in the questfor self-improvement and coming closer toG-d.

Self-improvement and personal changedoesn’t happen overnight. It takes work,commitment, and consistency. It meansgiving new habits time. It means gettingused to the new you. It’s not simple, but it’sabsolutely possible.

Chassidic master Rabbi Shneur Zalmanof Liadi likens the month of Elul to a timewhen “the king is in the field,” in contrastto when G-d is in His royal palace. DuringElul, “everyone who so desires is permittedto meet him, and he receives them all witha cheerful countenance and shows a smil-ing face to them all.”

The Selichot PrayersWith the imminent approach of the

New Year and the Days of Awe, our prepa-rations move into highest gear. During thelast week of Elul—the days leading up toRosh Hashanah, the Selichot prayers (a seriesof penitential prayers and liturgy) are re-cited, to help boost the atmosphere of self-improvement.

This service is first held in the weehours of Sept. 1, 2013, at around 1am, andthe following days Sept. 2–4 in the earlymorning.

In PreparationAugust 6—Sept. 4, 2013

Basic customs and practices for the month of Elul

Hear the sounding of theshofar (ram’s horn), a call toself-improvement, each dayof Elul (besides Shabbat).

Spend some quiet time eachday taking personal inventory,concluding with concreteplans for change.

Join a Torah study groupand add more mitzvot—likemezuzah, tefillin, Shabbatcandles, and charity.

Check your Mezuzot andTefillin. It is customary tohave your Mezuzot andTefillin checked at this time.

In Hebrew, Rosh Hashanah means “Headof the Year,” and as its name indicates, itis the beginning of the Jewish year. Theanniversary of the creation of Adam and

Eve, it is the birthday of mankind, highlight-ing the special relationship between G-d andhumanity. G-d not only wants to have aworld with people in it, G-d also wants anintimate relationship with each one of us.

After spending a month morally andspiritually preparing for this day, it’s time toexpress the new you in the utmost way pos-sible—by recognizing G-d as the ultimateKing of the Universe. Right and wrong orgood and evil have no foundation if there isno Founder—which is exactly what RoshHashanah is all about: beginning the NewYear in the right frame of mind. On this day,we declare what our attitude and philosophywill be for the coming year.

The ShofarYour Personal Wake-Up Call

Both days of Rosh Hashanah, one hun-dred sounds are blown from the shofar (ram’shorn), the oldest and most primitive of windinstruments. Its sound is simple and plain-tive—a cry from the heart, like a lost childwailing for its parent, and its call strikes theinnermost chords of the soul.

The shofar coronates G-d as King of theUniverse, and it also evokes key Jewish his-torical events that involve a ram’s horn.

After the Binding of Isaac, Abrahamsacrificed a ram in place of his son.According to ancient Midrashic writings,one of its horns was blown 363 years laterwhen the Jewish People gathered at Sinai toreceive the Torah. The same Midrash statesthat the second horn will herald the coming

of Moshiach, the true Messiah, and the finalredemption of the Jewish People.

Festive MealsOn each night and day of Rosh Hashanah

we enjoy a festive meal. On the first night, atthe beginning of the meal, we symbolicallyask G-d for a sweet New Year by eating a sliceof apple dipped in honey. On the secondnight of Rosh Hashanah, we enjoy a “newfruit,” i.e., a seasonal fruit which we have notyet tasted since its season began—anothersymbol for a New Year.

Rosh Hashanah

Other Symbolic FoodsIt is also customary to eat several foodswhich symbolize the type of year wewish to have:

A pomegranate is eaten,symbolizing our wish tohave a year full of Mitzvot

and good deeds as a pomegranate isfilled with luscious seeds.

A head of a fish is served, tosymbolize our desire to beat the “head of the class”this year.

Many have the custom ofeating foods whose namesallude to blessing and

prosperity, such as carrots — meren inYiddish — which means to multiply.

Tashlich — Cast Away On the first day of Rosh Hashanah

(Sept. 5, 2013) before sunset, we do theTashlich (cast away) prayer ceremony.We visit a riverbank, lake, pond (or anybody of water containing live fish) tosymbolically cast away our sins.

The words recited at Tashlich in-clude these: “… [G-d] will cast ourtransgressions into the depths of the sea”(Micah).

Kabbalah teaches that flowingwater symbolizes kindness, while fish,which have no eyelids, remind us ofG-d’s ever-watchful providence. Wepray that He judges us mercifully andlovingly at this time.

If one is unable to perform this ceremonyon Rosh Hashanah, one may do so untilthe last day of Sukkot (Sept. 25, 2013).

Ten Days of Teshuvah(Return to G-d)

Rosh Hashanah arrives, and thefuture is now. Along with a new atti-tude going forward, G-d gives us thechance to rectify the past year too!

During the Ten Days of Teshuvah(two days of Rosh Hashanah, one dayof Yom Kippur and seven days be-tween) we can spiritually correct thedays of the past year by living in aspiritually sensitive way—on Mondayfor all the past Mondays, on Tuesdayfor the Tuesdays, etc. It’s our annualchance to wipe the slate clean andstart anew.

Perhaps some people see apologies asan admission of weakness or defeat,but they’re actually the opposite. Anapology is a sign of strength and

love. A sincere apology will repair an endur-ing relationship that has been temporarilysidetracked or derailed by superficialities.On Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, werectify the hurt.

We address and then pierce through thethings that have bumped and bruised ourrelationship with G-d. We come together asa community to each say “Sorry!” to G-d andto make amends—but happily, wholeheart-edly confident in His loving response.

The eve of Yom KippurFriday, Sept. 13, 2013

KAPAROT The Kaparot service is done earlyin the morning before Yom Kippur with alive chicken (or alternatively with money orfish) which is then donated to charity.

FESTIVE MEALS It is a mitzvah to eat anddrink on the eve of Yom Kippur. Two mealsare eaten, one in the morning, and one justprior to the onset of Yom Kippur. Oneshould eat only light foods (such as plaincooked chicken and chicken soup) at thesecond meal.

TZEDAKAH It is customary to give charitygenerously and liberally during all the TenDays of Return. On the day before Yom Kip-pur this is even more the case, for tzedakahis a great source of merit and serves as pro-tection against harsh decrees.

Yom Kippur DaySaturday, Sept. 14, 2013

Yom Kippur is a 25-hour fast from sun-down to the following nightfall. We spendthe day in the synagogue. We abstain fromeating, drinking, washing or anointing thebody, wearing leather shoes, and marital re-lations.

PRAYER On Yom Kippur, the day when weare likened to angels, many have a customto wear white clothing while praying. Wear-ing white reminds us of our mortality andurges us to repent. There are many prayerservices throughout Yom Kippur. If youcan’t make them all, join us for the first YomKippur service, the Kol Nidrei prayer thatopens the first night service.

YIZKOR MEMORIAL SERVICEWe remem-ber our departed parents on Yom Kippur,with the special Yizkor memorial serviceduring the morning services. The Yizkor ismore than a service of remembrance, ratherit is a time for the relatives of the departedto connect with the souls of their loved oneson a deeper level; tradition has it that dur-ing the Yizkor service, the souls of the de-parted descend from heaven and are joinedwith those who are close to them.

THE CONCLUSION Yom Kippur concludeswith the Neilah (closing) prayer followed bya shofar blast and Maariv evening services.After services, we recite the Havdalah servicethat marks Yom Kippur’s end. We thenbreak our fast.

Doesn’t it feel great? It’s right afterYom Kippur, and you’re still on aspiritual high. Now bring it downto earth—right to your backyard,

as a matter of fact. It’s easy to feel spiritualafter spending all day fasting and prayingin a synagogue. Sukkot is about incorporat-ing that energy into your ordinary life.

Sukkot is a seven-day holiday, soon afterYom Kippur, that commemorates G-d’sprotection of our ancestors after our exo-dus from Egypt. Sukkot means “huts”, theTorah-mandated outdoor shelters we livein during the holiday. The sukkah (singular)surrounds us on all sides, symbolizing faithin G-d’s all-around protection and care—

not only in the spiritual life of the syna-gogue, but in our real life in the real world.Eating all our meals in the sukkah is repre-sentative of real life—with nothing but G-d Himself covering our every ordinarymove.

The Four Species

What do a bunch of leavesand an obscure fruit haveto do with spiritualmeaning? Everything!The special Sukkot mitzvah of theArba Minim — Four Species —the lulav, etrog, hadasim,and aravot — is a veryspecial one andsymbolic of unityand harmony.

The Holiday of Sukkot

A Time to RejoiceThursday-Wednesday, Sept. 18-25, 2013

The Four Species (Arba Minim) symbolize four spiritual profiles:

THE LULAV (Palm Branch) is from a date-palmtree with great taste but no smell. This symbolizesthe committed scholar—the person with vastknowledge but little “sweat equity” in mitzvot.

THE HADASIM (Myrtle Twigs) which have a goodsmell but no taste, symbolize the doer—the per-son with a lot of mitzvot but no serious learning.

THE ARAVOT (Willow Branches) have neithertaste nor smell, symbolizing the nondescript —the person who lives the plainest life.

THE ETROG (Citron) tastes and smells won-derful. This symbolizes the achiever—theperson whose great Torah scholarship ismatched by high mitzvah activity.

Putting them all together in one physical“bouquet” symbolizes the unity of the Jewishpeople. Just as these four species form onecomplete set, the Jewish people is onlywhole when comprised of all its parts.

1. Take the lulav wrapped with threemyrtle twigs and two willowbranches and hold those in yourright hand.

2. Say the blessing (in box to the right).

3. Pick up the etrog (stem down) inyour left hand.

4. First time using the Arba Minim thisSukkot? Say the blessing for newthings; blessing number 4 on page 11.

5. Hold the lulav and etrog togetherand move/shake them three times ineach direction (north, south, east,west, up, and down), signifying thatG-d is everywhere.

About SukkotSukkot is observed by doing in your

sukkah pretty much everything you do inyour house: eating, learning Torah, and justhanging out.

A kosher sukkah is simple: some wind-blocking walls and a natural-vegetationroof that leaves more shade than sun, andyou’re set. Not sure how to build one? Justsurf the Web. There’s no shortage of afford-able, easy-to-build sukkahs available in allsizes—even tiny portable ones for travel.

For seven days and nights, we eat all ourmeals in the sukkah. Each time you begin ameal in the sukkah, we say a special blessing.

During the holiday of Sukkot, we alsodo the special mitzvah of lulav and etrogeach day of Sukkot, except for Shabbat. Seebelow for instructions.

Hoshana RabbahWednesday, Sept. 25, 2013

At the beginning of this month (onRosh Hashana and Yom Kippur), all theworld’s inhabitants pass in individual re-

view before G-d. During the Festival ofSukkot, the entire world is judged concern-ing water, fruit, and produce. The seventhday of the Festival, Hoshana Rabbah, is theday on which this judgment is sealed. Be-cause human life depends on water and alldepends upon the final decision, HoshanaRabbah is invested with a weightiness sim-ilar to Yom Kippur and is marked by pro-fuse prayer and repentance.

Shemini AtzeretThursday, Sept. 26, 2013

“On the eighth [“Shemini”] day, a celebra-tion [“Atzeret”] shall be [held] for you…” —Numbers 29:35

Parting is such sweet sorrow. That’swhy, after seven great days, G-d gives us onemore day in His Presence.

Shemini Atzeret is an extra day tackedon to the end of Sukkot, allowing us to soakup those spiritual feelings in our sukkahsand stock up for the year ahead of us. Andif that doesn’t get you high enough, danc-ing with the Torah will. Because afteryou’ve brought the loftiness of RoshHashanah and Yom Kippur down to earthwith Sukkot, you embrace the guide that’llsteer you true in your life ahead: the Torah.

Shemini Atzeret is marked by holidayservices and a festive meal at home. Ourcustom is to eat in the sukkah on SheminiAtzeret, but without the traditional bless-ing. It is also our custom to dance with theTorah on Shemini Atzeret just as we will doon Simchat Torah.

YIZKOR MEMORIAL SERVICEOn Shemini Azteret duringthe morning Services werecite once again theYizkor memorial serv-ice for departed familymembers.

Simchat TorahFriday, Sept. 27, 2013

On Simchat Torah (the holiday of rejoic-ing with the Torah), we don’t study theTorah—we celebrate it. We hold it, hug it,dance and sing with it. After all, G-d’s man-ual for life is the greatest thing a Jew couldpossibly celebrate.

We read the last portion of the Torah,and since Torah study never ends, we beginreading from the scroll’s very beginning toshow the Torah is beloved to us, and we areeager for a new cycle to commence.

The celebration is marked on SimchatTorah night and the following day with ex-uberant, boisterous dancing in the syna-gogue while holding the Torah scrolls. Thedancing circles the synagogue’s bimah(Torah-reading platform) seven times,while spirited Jewish songs are sung.
