======================
Today's Laws & Customs
======================

· Hakafot

It is the practice of many communities -- and such is the Chabad custom -- to conduct "hakafot" and dance with the Torah scrolls also on the eve of Shemini Atzeret. (See entry for tomorrow, "Simchat Torah".)

· Rain Prayer

In today's musaf prayer we begin to insert the phrase mashiv haruach umorid hageshem ("who makes the wind blow and brings down the rain") in our daily prayers (as we'll continue to do through the winter, until the 1st day of Passover). Special hymns on rain and water are added to musaf in honor of the occasion.

· Yizkor

Yizkor, the remembrance prayer for departed parents, is recited today after the morning reading of the Torah.

· Eat in Sukkah

The festival of Sukkot, commemorating G-d's enveloping protection of the Children of Israel during their 40-year journey through the desert (1313-1273 BCE), is celebrated for seven days, beginning from the eve of Tishrei 15. During this time, we are commanded to "dwell" in a sukkah -- a hut of temporary construction, with a roof covering of raw, unfinished vegetable matter (branches, reeds, bamboo, etc.) -- signifying the temporality and fragily of human habitation and man-made shelter and our utter dependence upon G-d's protection and providence.

Outside of Israel, we eat in the sukkah an additional day, on the holiday of Shemini Atzeret (see Why are holidays celebrated an extra day in the Diaspora? [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=CA322086AD1B5570C7E3C371AB1732C5&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]) The special blessing recitied when eating in the sukkah is not recited today.

Note: In certain communities it is customary to eat some or all of this day's meals out of the sukkah.

· Last Day In Sukkah

Today is the last day when we eat in the sukkah (although the blessing on the sukkah, recited before eating a meal, is not recited today). Shortly before sunset, many have the custom to enjoy a last snack in the sukkah, thus "bidding the sukkah farewell" until the following year.

Note: In certain communities it is customary to eat some or all of this day's meals out of the sukkah.

· Lubavitcher Rebbe Suffers Massive Heart Attack (1977)

While celebrating the joyous holiday hakafot with thousands of chassidim in the central Chabad-Lubavitch synagogue in Brooklyn, NY, the Rebbe suffered a massive heart attack. In spite of the tremendous pain, the Rebbe remained calm and insisted on continuing the hakafot, and only after they concluded did he depart the synagogue.

On the following day, the Rebbe requested that the chassidim celebrate the Simchat Torah festivities with the same joy and fervor as all other years, and so it was.

After the holiday ended, the Rebbe addressed and reassured the anxious chassidim from his office (which was hastily converted into a cutting-edge cardiac unit) via a public address system.

The Rebbe remained in his office in Lubavitch World Headquarters under medical supervision for several weeks. He returned home [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=0BA562DBBDC48E782B46064797E25090&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] five weeks later on the 1st of Kislev, a day designated by chassidim for celebration and thanksgiving.

Today is: Sunday, Tishrei 21, 5773
Hoshana Rabbah (Chol Hamoed Sukkot)

======================
Today's Laws & Customs
======================

· Hoshana Rabbah

The seventh day of Sukkot is called "Hoshana Rabbah" and is considered the final day of the divine "judgment" in which the fate of the new year is determined. The Psalm L'David Hashem Ori [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=DB238D2207D157D4DE660608AA73D858&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], which has been added to our daily prayer since the 1st of Elul, is recited for the last time today. Other Hoshanah Rabbah observances include:

· Night Learning

It is customary to remain awake on the night preceding Hoshanah Rabbah and study Torah. We recite the entire Book of Deuteronomy [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=F2873648B2474EB1F437FF2B03D55F3D&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] and the Book of Psalms [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=3A052D3A187451F6354AF647FEF27C28&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]. In some congregations it is a custom for the Gabbai (synagogue manager) to distribute apples (signifying a "sweet year") to the congregants.

· Willow and Hoshaanot

In addition to the Four Kinds taken every day of Sukkot, it is a "Rabbinical Mitzvah", dating back to the times of the Prophets, to take an additional aravah, or willow, on the 7th day of Sukkot. In the Holy Temple, large, 18-foot willow branches were set around the altar. Today, when we take the Four Kinds and carry them around the reading table in the synagogue during the "Hoshaanot" prayers, we make seven circuits around the table (instead of the daily one), and recited a lengthier prayer. At the conclusion of the Hoshaanot we strike the ground five times with a bundle of five willows, symbolizing the "tempering of the five measures of harshness."

· Festive Meal

A festive meal is eaten in the Sukkah. We dip the bread in honey (as we did in each festive meal since Rosh Hashanah) for the last time. Today is also the last occasion on which we recite the special blessing for eating in the sukkah, since the biblical commandment to dwell in the sukkah is only for seven days (though it is the practice of many communities -- and such is the Chabad custom -- that, outside of the Land of Israel, we eat in the sukkah also on the 8th day, Shemini Atzeret).

· Eat in Sukkah (7 days)

The festival of Sukkot, commemorating G-d's enveloping protection of the Children of Israel during their 40-year journey through the desert (1313-1273 BCE), is celebrated for seven days, beginning from the eve of Tishrei 15. During this time, we are commanded to "dwell" in a sukkah -- a hut of temporary construction, with a roof covering of raw, unfinished vegetable matter (branches, reeds, bamboo, etc.) -- signifying the temporality and fragily of human habitation and man-made shelter and our utter dependence upon G-d's protection and providence. "How [does one fulfill] the mitzvah of dwelling in the sukkah? One should eat, drink, and live in the sukkah, both day and night, as one lives in one's house on the other days of the year: for seven days a person should make his home his temporary dwelling, and his sukkah his permanent dwelling" (Code of Jewish Law, Orach Chaim 639:1).

At least one k'zayit (approx. 1 oz.) of bread should be eaten in the sukkah on the first evening of the festival, between nightfall and midnight. A special blessing, Leishiv BaSukkah, is recited. For the rest of the festival, all meals must be eaten in the sukkah (see the Code of Jewish Law or consult a Halachic authority as to what constitutes a "meal"). Chabad custom is to refrain from eating or drinking anything outside of the sukkah, even a glass of water.

· The "Four Kinds" (6 days)

"And you shall take for yourself on the first day," instructs the Torah in Leviticus "the splendid fruit of a tree, fronds of dates, the branch of the thick-leafed tree and aravot of the river." Torah SheBaal Peh (the oral tradition given to Moses at Sinai and handed threough the generations, and later documented in the Mishnah and Talmud) identifies the four kinds as the etrog (citron), lulav (unopened palm branch), hadass (myrtle twig, of which three are taken) and aravah (willow, two twigs). The palm branch, three myrtle twigs and two willow twigs are bound together (with rings made from palm leaves).

Each day of Sukkot -- except Shabbat -- we take the lulav in hand, recite a blessing over it, take hold of the etrog, hold the "Four Kinds" together, and move them back and forth in all directions (right, left, forward, up, down and back). An additional blessing, shehecheyanu, is recited the first time that the Four Kinds are taken during the festival. We also hold the Four Kinds during the Hallel prayer (moving them as above in specified places in the text) and the Hoshaanot prayers (during which we march around the reading table in the synagogue) which are included in the daily service each day of Sukkot.

· "Water Drawing" Celebrations (7 nights)

When the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, one of the special Sukkot observances was to pour water on the Altar. The drawing of water for this purpose was preceded by all-night celebrations in the Temple courtyard; on the 15 steps leading to the azarah (inner courtyard) stood Levites while playing a variety of musical instruments, sages danced and juggled burning torches, and huge oil-burning lamps illuminated the entire city. The singing and dancing went on until daybreak, when a procession would make its way to the Shiloach Spring which flowed in a valley below the Temple to "draw water with joy." "One who did not see the joy of the water-drawing celebrations," declared the sages of the Talmud, "has not seen joy in his life."

While water was poured each day of the fetival, the special celebrations were held only on Chol Hamoed [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=6CF48AF3AF3E40A0C46EC7C6262611F3&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] since many of the elements of the celebration (e.g., the playing of musical instruments) are forbidden on Yom Tov.

Today, we commemorate these joyous celebrations by holding Simchat Beit HaShoeivah ("joy of the water drawing") events in the streets, with music and dancing. The Lubavitcher Rebbe initiated the custom of holding such celebrations on Shabbat and Yom Tov as well -- without musical instruments of course. The fact that we cannot celebrate as we did in the Temple, said the Rebbe, means that we are free to celebrate the joy of Sukkot with singing and dancing every day of the festival.

· Chol Hamoed

The seven days of the festival of Sukkot consist of two days of "Yom Tov", followed by five days of "Chol Hamoed" ("weekdays of the festival"; also called "the intermediate days"). In the Land of Israel, there is only one day of Yom Tov, followed by six days of Chol Hamoed.

On Yom Tov all creative work is forbidden as on Shabbat, except for the tasks involved in food preparation (e.g., lighting a fire from a pre-existing flame, cooking, carrying "from domain to domain"); on Chol Hamoed, work whose avoidance would result in "significant loss" is permitted. Otherwise, all the mitzvot and customs of Sukkot apply: eating in the sukkah, taking the "four kinds", etc. The "Yaale V'yavo" prayer is included in all prayers and Grace After Meals. Hallel, Hoshaanot and Musaf are recited following the Shacharit (morning) prayers.

It is the Chabad custom not to put on tefillin during Chol Hamoed, as on Shabbat and the festivals.

Celebrate the Holiday of Simchat Torah!

October 7-9, 2012

http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=6837CBB879D13071D6DEFCA670634C8F&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2

=======================================================

Immediately following the seven-day festival of Sukkot comes the festival of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah when we conclude - and begin anew - the annual Torah reading cycle. The holiday is marked with unbridled rejoicing, especially during the "hakafot" procession, as we march, sing and dance with the Torah scrolls.

"On Simchat Torah," goes the chassidic adage, "we rejoice in the Torah, and the Torah rejoices in us; the Torah, too, wants to dance, so we become the Torah's dancing feet."

As the month of Tishrei comes to a close, we have experienced and celebrated the most powerful moments of the Jewish year. As the Torah reading cycle comes to an end, we have read, studied and were inspired by its timeless teachings. As we progress through the new year and start reading the Torah all over again, what new lessons, insights, and inspiration will we derive this time around?

Wishing you a most joyful holiday!

Today is: Shabbat, Tishrei 20, 5773
Sukkot (Chol Hamoed)

======================
Today's Laws & Customs
======================

· Eat in Sukkah (7 days)

The festival of Sukkot, commemorating G-d's enveloping protection of the Children of Israel during their 40-year journey through the desert (1313-1273 BCE), is celebrated for seven days, beginning from the eve of Tishrei 15. During this time, we are commanded to "dwell" in a sukkah -- a hut of temporary construction, with a roof covering of raw, unfinished vegetable matter (branches, reeds, bamboo, etc.) -- signifying the temporality and fragily of human habitation and man-made shelter and our utter dependence upon G-d's protection and providence. "How [does one fulfill] the mitzvah of dwelling in the sukkah? One should eat, drink, and live in the sukkah, both day and night, as one lives in one's house on the other days of the year: for seven days a person should make his home his temporary dwelling, and his sukkah his permanent dwelling" (Code of Jewish Law, Orach Chaim 639:1).

At least one k'zayit (approx. 1 oz.) of bread should be eaten in the sukkah on the first evening of the festival, between nightfall and midnight. A special blessing, Leishiv BaSukkah, is recited. For the rest of the festival, all meals must be eaten in the sukkah (see the Code of Jewish Law or consult a Halachic authority as to what constitutes a "meal"). Chabad custom is to refrain from eating or drinking anything outside of the sukkah, even a glass of water.

· "Water Drawing" Celebrations (7 nights)

When the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, one of the special Sukkot observances was to pour water on the Altar. The drawing of water for this purpose was preceded by all-night celebrations in the Temple courtyard; on the 15 steps leading to the azarah (inner courtyard) stood Levites while playing a variety of musical instruments, sages danced and juggled burning torches, and huge oil-burning lamps illuminated the entire city. The singing and dancing went on until daybreak, when a procession would make its way to the Shiloach Spring which flowed in a valley below the Temple to "draw water with joy." "One who did not see the joy of the water-drawing celebrations," declared the sages of the Talmud, "has not seen joy in his life."

While water was poured each day of the fetival, the special celebrations were held only on Chol Hamoed [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=5D729FF82D01F2EEF8C29921A40E2FDB&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] since many of the elements of the celebration (e.g., the playing of musical instruments) are forbidden on Yom Tov.

Today, we commemorate these joyous celebrations by holding Simchat Beit HaShoeivah ("joy of the water drawing") events in the streets, with music and dancing. The Lubavitcher Rebbe initiated the custom of holding such celebrations on Shabbat and Yom Tov as well -- without musical instruments of course. The fact that we cannot celebrate as we did in the Temple, said the Rebbe, means that we are free to celebrate the joy of Sukkot with singing and dancing every day of the festival.

DAILY DOSE: Jewish Nucleus

B"H


Jewish Nucleus
==============

Every society has that which bonds it: A common ancestry and a system of patriarchal lineage. Or a common language or common borders or governing body. Usually, it is a combination of several factors that mold a mass of people into a single whole.

The Jewish people are unique in that they have only a single nucleus—and it is none of the above.

All that bonds us is Torah. Nothing else has proven capable of holding us together for more than a generation or two. Nothing else, other than the same Torah that first forged us as a nation.

Today is: Friday, Tishrei 19, 5773
Sukkot (Chol Hamoed)

======================
Today's Laws & Customs
======================

· Eat in Sukkah (7 days)

The festival of Sukkot, commemorating G-d's enveloping protection of the Children of Israel during their 40-year journey through the desert (1313-1273 BCE), is celebrated for seven days, beginning from the eve of Tishrei 15. During this time, we are commanded to "dwell" in a sukkah -- a hut of temporary construction, with a roof covering of raw, unfinished vegetable matter (branches, reeds, bamboo, etc.) -- signifying the temporality and fragily of human habitation and man-made shelter and our utter dependence upon G-d's protection and providence. "How [does one fulfill] the mitzvah of dwelling in the sukkah? One should eat, drink, and live in the sukkah, both day and night, as one lives in one's house on the other days of the year: for seven days a person should make his home his temporary dwelling, and his sukkah his permanent dwelling" (Code of Jewish Law, Orach Chaim 639:1).

At least one k'zayit (approx. 1 oz.) of bread should be eaten in the sukkah on the first evening of the festival, between nightfall and midnight. A special blessing, Leishiv BaSukkah, is recited. For the rest of the festival, all meals must be eaten in the sukkah (see the Code of Jewish Law or consult a Halachic authority as to what constitutes a "meal"). Chabad custom is to refrain from eating or drinking anything outside of the sukkah, even a glass of water.

· The "Four Kinds" (6 days)

"And you shall take for yourself on the first day," instructs the Torah in Leviticus "the splendid fruit of a tree, fronds of dates, the branch of the thick-leafed tree and aravot of the river." Torah SheBaal Peh (the oral tradition given to Moses at Sinai and handed threough the generations, and later documented in the Mishnah and Talmud) identifies the four kinds as the etrog (citron), lulav (unopened palm branch), hadass (myrtle twig, of which three are taken) and aravah (willow, two twigs). The palm branch, three myrtle twigs and two willow twigs are bound together (with rings made from palm leaves).

Each day of Sukkot -- except Shabbat -- we take the lulav in hand, recite a blessing over it, take hold of the etrog, hold the "Four Kinds" together, and move them back and forth in all directions (right, left, forward, up, down and back). An additional blessing, shehecheyanu, is recited the first time that the Four Kinds are taken during the festival. We also hold the Four Kinds during the Hallel prayer (moving them as above in specified places in the text) and the Hoshaanot prayers (during which we march around the reading table in the synagogue) which are included in the daily service each day of Sukkot.

· "Water Drawing" Celebrations (7 nights)

When the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, one of the special Sukkot observances was to pour water on the Altar. The drawing of water for this purpose was preceded by all-night celebrations in the Temple courtyard; on the 15 steps leading to the azarah (inner courtyard) stood Levites while playing a variety of musical instruments, sages danced and juggled burning torches, and huge oil-burning lamps illuminated the entire city. The singing and dancing went on until daybreak, when a procession would make its way to the Shiloach Spring which flowed in a valley below the Temple to "draw water with joy." "One who did not see the joy of the water-drawing celebrations," declared the sages of the Talmud, "has not seen joy in his life."

While water was poured each day of the fetival, the special celebrations were held only on Chol Hamoed [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=FFFFB599F24DFD58EE7DC1865C861510&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] since many of the elements of the celebration (e.g., the playing of musical instruments) are forbidden on Yom Tov.

Today, we commemorate these joyous celebrations by holding Simchat Beit HaShoeivah ("joy of the water drawing") events in the streets, with music and dancing. The Lubavitcher Rebbe initiated the custom of holding such celebrations on Shabbat and Yom Tov as well -- without musical instruments of course. The fact that we cannot celebrate as we did in the Temple, said the Rebbe, means that we are free to celebrate the joy of Sukkot with singing and dancing every day of the festival.

· Chol Hamoed

The seven days of the festival of Sukkot consist of two days of "Yom Tov", followed by five days of "Chol Hamoed" ("weekdays of the festival"; also called "the intermediate days"). In the Land of Israel, there is only one day of Yom Tov, followed by six days of Chol Hamoed.

On Yom Tov all creative work is forbidden as on Shabbat, except for the tasks involved in food preparation (e.g., lighting a fire from a pre-existing flame, cooking, carrying "from domain to domain"); on Chol Hamoed, work whose avoidance would result in "significant loss" is permitted. Otherwise, all the mitzvot and customs of Sukkot apply: eating in the sukkah, taking the "four kinds", etc. The "Yaale V'yavo" prayer is included in all prayers and Grace After Meals. Hallel, Hoshaanot and Musaf are recited following the Shacharit (morning) prayers.

It is the Chabad custom not to put on tefillin during Chol Hamoed, as on Shabbat and the festivals.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Why All the Shaking of the Lulav and Etrog Set?

B"H


Tishrei 18, 5773 * October 4, 2012

========================================
Q U E S T I O N O F T H E W E E K
========================================

Why All the Shaking of the Lulav and Etrog Set?
By Eliezer Shemtov
===============================================

Dear Rabbi,

What is the shaking of the lulav and etrog set all about?

Answer:

Each day of the holiday of Sukkot [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=34796B8CEB2806C580CD97E09807BD2A&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] (excluding the Sabbath), we move the Four Species lulav and etrog set [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=81FD24148DC7ACFCC0A6A57529AAAA3A&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] three times in each of six directions[1] immediately after reciting the blessing. Many do this by turning around while extending the Four Species in each direction: eastward, southward, westward and northward, then facing east upwards and downwards.[2]

According to the kabbalistic explanation, taught by Rabbi Isaac Luria, the Arizal [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=30FDA9761FC47CFDABBFC6518F8FEB5D&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], we do not actually turn in each direction. Instead, we face eastward and extend the species: southward, northward, eastward, upward, downward, and westward. After each movement, the lulav and etrog are brought towards the heart[3]. The Chabad custom is to bring the Four Species close enough to actually touch the area of the chest where the heart is located.[4]

The Arizal explains that the six directions represent the six emotions (loosely translated here from the Hebrew[5]):

* South: kindness (chesed).
* North: discipline (gevurah).
* East: harmony (tiferet).
* Up: perseverance (netzach).
* Down: submission (hod).
* West: connection (yesod).
* Bringing the four species towards the heart: communication (malchut).

Our sages explain that the manifestation of the Divine Presence in this world - the Shechinah, stems from the west.[6] If the Shechinah is in the west, figuratively, when facing east, south would be to its right and north to its left.

The right hand represents "kindness" while the left hand represents "discipline." East and west would then correspond to the "center" attributes of "harmony" and "connection" respectively. "Perseverance" and "submission" are represented by the upward and downward movements. The seventh attribute, "communication" is represented by the heart to which the Four Kinds are continually returned.

The Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=9C381183A6071040B9457D549A4B4442&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], of righteous memory, explains the traditional movement of the Four Species:

Our sages point out that the Four Species, each having different combinations of taste and smell, represent the four different types of people that make up our nation:

* The lulav (date tree frond), which has a sweet taste (dates) but no particular smell, represents the Jewish scholar, who dedicated to internalizing knowledge (taste) but does not distinguish himself by his good deeds.
* The hadas (myrtle branch), which has a pleasant smell and no taste, represents the one who is outstanding in his performance of good deeds, which positively affect one's environment - like a "good smell", but lacks outstanding Torah scholarship.
* The etrog (citrus fruit), which has both a good taste and a good smell, represents one that excels both in Torah study as well as in good deeds.
* The aravah (willow branch), which has no special smell or taste, represents the person who does not excel in either one of the aforementioned qualities.

The idea is to unite the various individuals and unite them into one indivisible unit.

The blessing may not be recited unless all four kinds are present, so why then, is it that the blessing that is recited only mentions the lulav?

The Talmud attributes this to the fact that the lulav "is the tallest" and most visible of the four.[7]

The physical prominence of the lulav and its dominance over the other three kinds implies the spiritual prominence and dominance in what it represents - namely Torah study, which is the primary motor of all aspects of Jewish personal, community and national life. The power we gain from Torah study enables us to influence and transform the world around us.

We extend the Lulav and its accompanying species to the various points in order to express this idea in more detail.

The Southern Hemisphere is hotter than the Northern Hemisphere,[8] therefore south and north represent, respectively, heat and cold.

We begin the movements by extending the Four Kinds, led by the lulav, three times to the south, followed by three times to the north, demonstrating thereby that it is through Torah study that we can dominate both the hot, seductive instincts as well as the cold indifference that threaten our spiritual vitality.

We then move the Four Kinds towards the east, where the sun rises, representing the source of light. Through Torah study we gain the ability to increase and add even more light to the world.

We move the lulav upward, implying that through Torah study we can reach the highest levels and secrets of knowledge, and then downward, representing our ability to positively influence the lowest levels of the human experience.

Finally, we carry the lulav westward, representing G-d's manifest presence (as explained above) which represents our ability to become partners with G-d in creation,[9] as it were, to the point of being able to dictate His behavior[10] and even annul his decrees.[11]

After careful study, it seems that the Rebbe's explanation is an elaboration of the Arizal's teaching, with emphasis on its practical impact on our physical world and on our personal struggles and challenges.[12]
