Breakfast on Chol-Hamoed Sukkot and Hoshana Raba
All visitors to the morning service are cordially invited to breakfast in the sukkah on Chol-Hamoed Sukkot.
The breakfast on Hoshana Rabba, Sunday, October 16, is traditionally organized by the Bne Akiva.
Simchat Tora
Evening service
The regular service begins at 7:16 p.m. in Beit Yosef Synagogue. Children up to the age of 10 gather at the same time in the Small Synagogue. After the conclusion of the regular evening prayer service, together with the children from the Small Synagogue, there will be davening while singing together, and hakafoth will be performed with all the Torah scrolls through the Beit Yosef Synagogue. This is followed by dancing.
Afterwards, all the children are called to the Torah.
Gifts for children
Gifts for children are distributed in the Small Synagogue after the service.
Morning of Simchat Torah
In an effort to keep the Simchat Torah morning service (beginning at 7:30 a.m.) from taking too long, approximately 25 people will be called in the Beit Yosef Synagogue, primarily chiuwim as well as elderly members. For the rest, there will be an opportunity to be called in the foyer.
At 8:45 a.m., the Kiddush will take place.
