Erev Sukkot – Sunday, October 9, 2022
Evening Services, 6:15pm (Sanctuary & on Zoom)
Home/Sukkah Ritual
Light festival candles at home with two blessings (l'hadlik ner shel yom tov and shehechiyanu) no later than 5:55pm.
It is customary to light a long-burning or yahrtzeit candle as well (without a blessing) so fire will be available to transfer for lighting candles on Monday (6:54pm) evening or for cooking during the holiday.
Kiddush for festivals should be made in the Sukkah followed by the additional blessings asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu leisheiv basukkah then shehechiyanu. We invite ushpizin (spiritual guests to sit alongside the people we have invited in (See here for more info). We say Hamotzi as usual, over two challot, and additional prayers are included in Birkat HaMazon, grace after the meal. If it is raining, we eat indoors.
All seven days of Sukkot, we make an effort to eat, drink, learn, and spend free time in the sukkah. Conceptually during this period, our homes become our temporary dwellings and our sukkot our permanent dwellings. If you don’t have a sukkah, please feel free to stop by the TI sukkah for meals or blessings.
