Please join Hazzan Braun and Rabbi Switkin for this most meaningful ritual, and don’t forget to bring your hallah crumbs and Shofar. NEILAH Neilah, the closing service - a time for the family - will be shared on Wednesday, October 12, 2016, at 6:00 p.m. At the conclusion of Neilah at 7:15 p.m., a community Shofar sounding will be held.

Welcome Back to Chadash, Everyone! We’re so excited for the beginning of school! This year school starts on Sunday, September 11 (please see below for more information about the opening day) and Rosh HaShanah isn’t until October 3, so we’ll have more than the usual amount of time to learn about the High Holy Days, as well as Sukkot and Simchat Torah. We have a special school-wide Rosh HaShanah program planned for September 25, including a S’lichot service, the Tashlich ceremony, and, of course, a snack of apples and honey. Students will also have the opportunity to practice blowing the Shofar, as we do traditionally during the entire Hebrew month of Elul, which precedes the month of Tishrei and Rosh HaShanah. First Day of Chadash: Sunday, September 11 On the first day of Chadash for the 2016-2017 school year, Sunday, September 11, all students in grades 1-10 should report to the main lobby of the Beit Ha’Am building no later than 9:30am; an allschool service (except for the PreKindergarten/Kindergarten class ) will begin in the large sanctuary at 9:30, as usual. Students will be dismissed with their teachers to their classrooms at the end of the service, at 10:00. As always, parents are welcome to attend the Sunday morning service with their children. Parents of PreKindergarten/Kindergarten students should take their children directly to the PreK/K classroom at 9:30 – if those parents have older children and would like to attend the all-school service, they may drop their PreK/K child off at the classroom a little earlier than 9:30. Parents Invited to Sit in on Classes This is just a reminder that all parents are welcome to sit in on their children’s classes on any Sunday. We just ask that you give us a little notice so that we can be sure that there are enough chairs in the classroom! Reminder of Chadash Student-Led High Holy Day Services Chadash students will lead services for their fellow students this year on Rosh HaShanah morning, Monday, October 3, at 11:00am, and again on Yom Kippur, Wednesday, October 12, at 11:30am (please note the different start times) in the library in the Beit Ha’Am building. As they did at the very successful services last year, students from our 7th, 8th and 9th grades will fill the roles of rabbi and cantor for each of the services, and younger students will be leading the English readings and some of the Hebrew prayers. Ellen Shankle, who is organizing the services again, will also be on hand to make sure everything runs smoothly. Please note that, while parents are welcome to attend these services, space is limited in the library, and in order to ensure that there are enough seats for all of the students, we encourage parents (especially parents of older students) to attend the “regular” services in one of the two worship spaces.

Q. What is the meaning of the name “Rosh Hashanah?” A. “Rosh Hashanah” means “Head of the year”. Our sages explain, just as the “head” controls the entire body, how we act on Rosh Hashanah helps determine the coming year. In fact, everything that will happen during the coming year is decreed on Rosh Hashanah. Q. Why do the Rabbi and Hazzan (and in many synagogues the congregation), wear a white robe (Kitel) on Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur? A. White symbolizes cleanliness and purity. This reminds us of the words of the prophet, “Even if your sins will be as scarlet, they will become white like snow”. Another reason for the white garment, is to remind us of the shrouds worn on the day of death. Remembering this makes us realize that everything in this world is only temporary. This thought will bring us to repentance. Q. What is the reason for dipping the hallah in honey? A. This expresses our wish and trust that God will grant us a sweet year. Dipping the hallah and apple in honey is an expression of confidence that our merciful father in heaven, will grant us a sweet year. Todah Rabah I would like to thank each and every one of you who sent contributions, birthday cards and well wishes In Honor of my 70th birthday. They mean the world to me. I could not have asked for a better 70th birthday celebration. I was so blessed to get to share my celebration with all of you that attended the birthday party on Saturday, July 30th, 2016.
