Sukkot 5778
10/03/2017 07:09:20 PM
We wish our friends & members
a very happy Sukkot.
Please remember to make an Eruv Tavshillin on Wednesday afternoon.
Please join us in our beautiful sukkah. We are grateful to David Lessman, Ely Moizman, Avi Sosa, and our faithful building manager, Vincenzo Aiosa and his team, for their efforts in building, preparing, and enhancing our sukkah.
We wish a Mazal Tov to Sam & Arezoo Jesselson upon the birth of a boy on Yom Kippur.
We look forward to delicious, house-sponsored Cake/Kugel Kiddushes in our beautiful Sukkah on the first two days of Sukkot, and to a meat Kiddush on Shabbat, sponsored by Sam & Arezoo Jesselson, in celebration of the birth of their son.
Our joy this year is tempered by sadness as we, together with the rest of the country, are horrified by the tragedy in Las Vegas. We pray for consolation to the families and healing to the victims.
