HOSHANA RABA/SHEMINI ATZERET/SIMCHAT TORAH
 

Hoshana Rabbah: Shacharit will start at 7:30 AM this Sunday. Hoshanot are available for purchase for $5 each.

Don't worry, there are still many sponsorship opportunities for our Simchat Torah celebrations (Pre-Party, Party,  Bar, Keg, Snacks, Kiddush, Advil). Perhaps consider helping to sponsor Kiddush in honor of our honorees or increase our Scotch reserves. We might just crown you "Chattan Tubi." Donate here or Venmo ​​​​​us (@SixthStreetSynagogue). Be sure to include what you are sponsoring and the dedication info.
 
Community Simchat Torah Party & Hakafot - Expect snacks, drinks, and a great crowd. Monday, October 21st, starting at 5:30 PM. We start early and end early! (Don't worry, there's an after-party). Maariv will begin at approximately 7:00 PM. To help us throw the best party ever, come and bring your friends and/or help us by sponsoring. 

We are grateful to Michelle Charnoff & Brian Polay for sponsoring our Simchat Torah Keg, and to Shelly & Elie Yudewitz and Dina & Kenneth Canfield for sponsoring our adult beverages.

Super Secret Pre-Hakafot Kiddush - Elsewhere Espresso Coffee and Rugelach, all before we dance and read from the Torahs. Tuesday, October 22nd, at approximately 9:45 AM. Sponsored by the Yudewitz Family in honor of Rabbi Bellino שליט"א. Advil sponsored by Francesca & Dr. Micah Timen.

Yom Tov Candy Buffet - We are grateful to the Lebewohl Family for sponsoring a candy buffet over Yom Tov.
