This Week at Beth Shalom
Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Simchat Torah
We will celebrate Simchat Torah this Friday at the temple, 956 J Street in Crescent City at 7 P.M. This is the holiday when we finish and begin again to read the Torah scroll, ending Deuteronomy and beginning Genesis again. It should be a joyous time.
Torah study begins again on Saturday afternoon at 4:30. We will read from Genesis 1:1, some of the most interesting stories in the Bible, including creation, the Garden of Eden and the story of Cain and Abel. Please join us.
I'm hoping everyone has had a joyous Sukkot so far.
We are still looking for volunteer service leaders. If you can volunteer, or if you have ideas for projects for our temple, or to donate money, contact us at P.O. Box 1557, Crescent City, CA 95531.

Sukkot
We're not a day away from Yom Kippur, and it's already time to think about Sukkot. This is our "Season of Joy," a time to celebrate the fall harvest, feel the last of the warm sunshine before winter and gather with friends.
Sukkot begins before sunset Wednesday (check the Chabad candle lighting time on our blog, http://templebethshalom.blogspot.com for the exact time). In Orthodox and Conservative Judaism, the holiday ends the next Wednesday night, followed by Shemini Atzeret, and then Simchat Torah the evening of October 20 and during the day Friday the 21st. Reform Judaism combines Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah Wednesday night and Thursday, October 19 and 20.
At Beth Shalom, we make it simple. Our Sukkot service is Friday night, October 14 at 7 at the temple, 956 J Street in Crescent City. Jill Munger will lead the service. We will not have Torah study on Saturday October 15.
We will celebrate Simchat Torah Friday night, October 21 at the temple. This is the holiday where we finish reading the Torah, and begin again.
Saturday, October 22, we will begin Torah study again from 4:30 - 6 P.M. with B'reishit, "In the beginning,"starting over with Genesis 1:1.
We at Beth Shalom wish everyone a joyous Sukkot.

Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, begins before sundown Friday and ends after sundown Saturday. According to the Chabad calendar on our website, the exact times are 6:31 P.M. Friday to 7:29 Saturday. Traditionally, we deny ourselves food and water for this twenty-five hour period. Fasting is prohibited if one has a medical condition that warns against it.
Beth Shalom's Yom Kippur services are Friday evening at 7 and Saturday morning at 10 at the temple, 956 J Street in Crescent City. Cantorial soloist Barry Wendell is leading the evening service, and Rabbi Joseph Hample, the Jewish chaplain at Pelican Bay Prison, is leading the morning service. Each service will run approximately two hours. There is no afternoon service or Torah study this week.
Services are open to the public without charge. Donations can be mailed to Beth Shalom, P.O. Box 1557, Crescent City, CA 95531. We do not receive mail at the J Street address.
Sukkot begins a few days after Yom Kippur, at the full moon, this year on Wednesday evening, October 12. Sukkot is a holiday of joy and relaxation lasting seven or eight days. Simchat Torah, celebrating the end and beginning of our Torah reading cycle, is celebrated immediately after Sukkot. Jill Munger will lead Beth Shalom's Sukkot service on Friday night, October 14. We will celebrate Simchat Torah on Friday night, October 21, technically just after the holiday.
Best wishes for a meaningful Season of Repentance and a Joyous Sukkot.
