Building the Sukkah, Tuesday at 1pm
Well ... there we were building the sukkah last year - and please God, we'll do it again this year! Change of plans ... we need to move the sukkah building from Sunday to Tuesday given the rain predictions.
So - TUESDAY, OCT 15 @ 1PM - JOIN US for building the sukkah at Temple Sholom. NOT Sunday as previous programmed. Fear not - apple cider donuts will still be on hand.
Rightly so, we all have Yom Kippur on our minds - but there is a mitzvah in rolling from completing Yom Kippur to hammering the first nails of the sukkah. In fact, there is great symbolism in the Jewish mindset of always anticipating, working toward what is next.
We'll still build - just a little closer to the actual holiday. Sukkot begins on Wednesday evening, October 16th.
In the meantime - wishing everyone a meaningful Yom Kippur and sweet and healthy New Year!

Installing the Rabbi
It is with great pleasure that the Officers and Trustees of Temple Sholom invite you to attend and celebrate the installation of Rabbi Mark Cohn as the spiritual leader of our synagogue. Rabbi Cohn began in his role with our community in July 2023. Having completed a year and having just ushered in the New Year, we will celebrate Shabbat Bereisheet with a special service and hope you will join us.
The installation ceremony will take place Friday, October 25, 2024, at 6:30 PM during our evening Shabbat service at Temple Sholom. A festive and full Oneg with sweets and snacks will follow the service.
Our service will be led by Rabbi Cohn and his friend and colleague, Cantor Lizzie Shammash, who will also lead the ceremony in which we officially "install" Rabbi Cohn as our congregation's rabbi.
With warm welcome and gratitude,
Jay Adler, President
Temple Sholom
