MIssing the Punchline...
Chabad-Columbus-Logo-w-building-for-web.jpg

Dear  Friend

Sorry, did you miss the punchline?

Wasn't that annoying?

I bet you wouldn't be willing to listen to a joke if you knew you would not get to hear the end of it.

Well, going to shul on Yom Kippur and then skipping Simchas Torah is like hearing the build up to a joke and missing the punchline. It makes no sense.

On Yom Kippur we express our Jewishness. On Simchas Torah we celebrate it.

On Yom Kippur we fast with humility. On Simchas Torah we eat and drink with joy.

Yom Kippur is the day our soul shines. Simchas Torah is the day our soul dances.

So you want to hear the punchline? See you in shul on Monday night...

Good Shabbos and Good Yomtov,

Areyah

JOURNEY OF THE SOUL -
AN EXPLORATION OF LIFE, DEATH, AND WHAT LIES BEYOND

A fascinating new six-session course from the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute

What is a soul? Where does it go after it departs this world? Do Jews believe in heaven and hell? Can souls communicate with us from the afterlife? How does reincarnation work?

Journey of the Soul explores the mysteries surrounding the spiritual dimension of our existence—our destiny that continues even after we’ve shed our earth-bound body suit.

We examine the transition of the soul into the hereafter, the kinds of legacies that are valued even after we’ve forsaken this earthly existence, and the accompanying emotional journey and rituals that help the soul and those closest to it prepare for its new reality.

Six Mondays, starting Nov. 2

The Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret Torah readings are from Leviticus 22-23, Numbers 29, and Deuteronomy 14-16. These readings detail the laws of the moadim or " appointed times" on the Jewish calendar for festive celebration of our bond with G-d; including the mitzvot of dwelling in the sukkah (branch-covered hut) and taking the " Four Kinds" on the festival of Sukkot; the offerings brought in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem on Sukkot, and the obligation to journey to the Holy Temple to "to see and be seen before the face of G-d" on the three annual pilgrimage festivals -- Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot.

On Simchat Torah ("Rejoicing of the Torah") we conclude, and begin anew, the annual Torah-reading cycle. First we read the Torah section of Vezot Haberachah, which recounts the blessings that Moses gave to each of the twelve tribes of Israel before his death. Echoing Jacob's blessings to his twelve sons five generations earlier, Moses assigns and empowers each tribe with its individual role within the community of Israel.

Vezot Haberachah then relates how Moses ascended Mount Nebo from whose summit he saw the Promised Land. "And Moses the servant of G-d died there in the Land of Moab by the mouth of G-d... and no man knows his burial place to this day." The Torah concludes by attesting that "There arose not a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom G-d knew face to face... and in all the mighty hand and the great awesome things which Moses did before the eyes of all Israel."

Immediately after concluding the Torah, we begin it anew by reading the first chapter of Genesis (the beginning of next Shabbat's Torah reading) describing G-d's creation of the world in six days and His ceasing work on the seventh--which He sanctified and blessed as a day of rest.
