Just having completed the High Holy Days, it's time to actualize our good intentions.
And...just having completed the High Holy Days journey, it is now time to celebrate!
Sukkot starts Sunday night. 
Communal celebration on Sukkot
marks the completion of the cycle
of the
Tishrei holy days, moving from
introspection to implementation of
teshuva
and our good intentions = joy! Congregation Kehillah members are invited to the
sukkah
on Sunday, September 30th for our Cactus Cookout and Landscape Project launch, for a special, joyous celebration of this remarkable season, so we can fulfill the
mitzvah
of eating in a
sukkah
while enjoying each others' company. (See below or click here for details.) The Chasidic rebbes teach that what we accomplish on the High Holy Days through our introspection and fasting and tears, we can accomplish on Sukkot and Simchat Torah with celebration!
And, for some Sukkot ends Sunday, September 30th at sunset and Simchat Torah begins then and ends at sunset the next day; for the rest of the Jewish world, Sukkot ends at sunset on Monday the 1st with Simchat Torah starting then and ending on Tuesday the 2nd at sunset. More about this in next week's candle lighting reminder.
I look forward to sharing a joyous Sukkot with you! Candle lighting for Sukkot on Sunday is at 6:05 p.m.
