Holidays 

The Jewish calendar is filled with holidays and festivals that commemorate important milestones in our history as well as nature’s cycle in the Holy Land. Our observance of these ranges from the solemn (Yom Kippur) to the joyous (Sukkot, Simchat Torah, Chanukah, Tu B’Shevat, Passover and Shavuot) to the downright silly (Purim). We also commemorate more recent events in our people’s history, such as Yom HaShoah. For each of these annual occasions, we have strived to create a service appropriate to the occasion.  

• Sukkot—service in our own sukkah.
• Simchat Torah—joyous procession with our Torahs, Israeli dancing   View pictures from our 2011 celebration! 
• Chanukah—we celebrate with songs, lighting the menorah,  and the music of our adult and youth choirs
• Tu B’Shevat—a congregational seder designed around fruit and nuts
• Purim
• Passover 
• Shavuot—service, communal dinner, traditional study (Tikkun Leil Shavuot)
