High Holiday Home Service Information 5777 – 2016

Rosh Hashanah Evenings

Sunday, October 2nd

and Monday, October 3rd

The New Year, like the Sabbath and Festivals, is welcomed in the home with prayer and festivity.

Congregational ritual is enriched when preceded by family and friends celebrating at home. The table should be

given a festive appearance – flowers and an attractive table will help everyone feel the significance of the

occasion. At each plate there is a bit of honey, a slice of apple and a cup of wine. Two loaves of challah are also

on the table.

On both evenings light the candles and recite the following blessings:

ברוך אתה יהוה אלהינו מלך העולם אשר קדשנו במצותיו

וצונו להדליק נר של )שבת ושל( יום טוב.

Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, asher kidishanu b’mitzvotav vetsivanu l’hadlik ner shel (on Friday evening add: Shabbat ve) Yom Tov. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by Your mitzvot and commanded us to kindle (on Friday evening add: the Sabbath and) the Festival lights.

ברוך אתה יהוה אלהינו מלך העולם שהחינו וקימנו

והגיענו לזמן הזה.

Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, shehechiyanu v’kiyemanu v’higianu lazman hazeh. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive, preserved us and enabled us to

reach this season.

After the Rosh Hashanah Kiddush is said over the wine and the hamotzi recited over the challah, all present dip a slice of the apple in honey and recite:

.ברוך אתה יהוה אלהינו מלך העולם בורא פרי העץ

Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, boray p’ri ha-etz. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the tree.


Yom Kippur 5777

Fasting in the Jewish Tradition

Jewish tradition obligates us to fast on Yom Kippur as an expression of remorse and repentance. It also

helps us to achieve the kind of undistracted concentration and introspection that is the essence of the

Yom Kippur experience. Moreover, while fasting we identify with the suffering and hunger of all

peoples throughout the world. This religious obligation, however, applies only to those whose health

permits them to fast. Worshipers who are in doubt should consult with their personal physician before

beginning the sundown to sundown fast. As we consider the religious obligation to fast, it is appropriate

to think of those who are hungry involuntarily and participate in the Project Isaiah Food Drive. Children

below the age of Bar/Bat Mitzvah should be taught to fast by beginning with a few hours fast and

increasing it each year until at thirteen they fast throughout Yom Kippur. The fast begins with the

kindling of Yom Kippur candles and concludes with the sounding of the Shofar at the end of Neilah.

Yom Kippur Eve

Tuesday, October 11th

Unlike the meal held on the eves of Sabbaths and other festivals, there are no special rituals connected

with the Erev Yom Kippur meal, because it is eaten before the sacred day begins. The Mitzvot of

Hamotzi and the Birkat Hamazon should be observed as at any meal. This meal, which is called Seudah

Mafseket (the concluding meal before a fast) should begin early so that it is completed before the onset

of the Holy Day. No kiddush is recited.

The candles are lit and the following is recited:

ברוך אתה יהוה אלהינו מלך העולם אשר קדשנו במצותיו וצונו להדליק נר של )שבת ושל( יום ה פורים.

Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam asher kidishanu b’mitzvotav vetsivanu lehadlik ner shel

Yom Hakippurim.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by Your mitzvot, who

commands us to kindle the lights of the Day of Atonement.



Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, shehechiyanu v’kiyemanu v’higianu lazman hazeh.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive, preserved us and enabled

us to reach this season.


Sukkot 5777 It is a mitzvah for every Jew to participate in the building and decoration of a sukkah which, by tradition, we begin to construct immediately after the conclusion of Yom Kippur. The sukkah may be built in a yard or on a roof or on a balcony. If you are not building your own Sukkah, consider assisting in the building or decorating of the Sukkah at the synagogue or at the home of friends. You are also encouraged to purchase a lulav and etrog that will be used throughout the festival. Those who have a lulav and etrog will participate in processions with the Torah (not on Shabbat and not on Shemini Atzeret or Simchat Torah) during the morning services. To order a lulav and etrog contact the synagogue office at 634-0777. The following blessing is recited while holding the lulav and etrog:


וצונו על נטילת לולב. Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam asher kidishanu bemitvotav vetsivanu al netilat lulav. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by Your mitzvot, who commands us for the taking of lulav.

Home Service for Sukkot Eves

Sunday and Monday Evenings, October 16th

and 17th

Eating meals in the sukkah is a most enjoyable way to celebrate this festival. Inviting friends to share meals in the sukkah enhances the joy of the holiday. The Sukkot candles are lighted and the following blessing recited:


וצונו להדליק נר של )שבת ושל( יום טוב. Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, asher kidishanu b’mitzvotav vetsivanu l’hadlik ner (on Friday: Shabbat ve) shel yom tov. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by Your mitzvot and commanded us to kindle the (on Friday evening add: Sabbath and) Festival lights.

העולם שהחינו וקימנוברוך אתה יהוה אלהינו מלך

והגיענו לזמן הזה. Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, shehechiyanu v’kiyemanu v’higianu lazman hazeh. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive, preserved us and enabled us to reach this season.


Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah

The concluding day of Sukkot has come to be known as Shemini Atzeret. While it is of rabbinic

origin, it has taken on the same obligations as the biblically ordained days of Sukkot. Simchat

Torah developed later in Jewish history, but it too has become equivalent to a biblical holiday.

On both days we attend Yom Tov services at shul evening and morning, and light candles on the

evening prior to the onset of the day. Just as on Shabbat or the first days of the festival, we have

family meals on the evening leading into these days and for the second meal after morning

services.

Home Service for Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah Eves

Sunday and Monday Evenings October 23rd

and 24th

The candles are lighted and the following blessing recited:


וצונו להדליק נר של )שבת ושל( יום טוב.

Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, asher kidishanu b’mitzvotav vetsivanu l’hadlik

ner (on Friday: Shabbat ve) shel yom tov.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by Your mitzvot and

commanded us to kindle the (on Friday evening add: Sabbath and) Festival lights.



Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, shehechiyanu v’kiyemanu v’higianu lazman

hazeh.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive, preserved us and

enabled us to reach this season.


HIGH HOLIDAYS 2016/5777

The The clergy, staff and leadership of Beth Judea join in wishing every member of our congregation health,
