SHEMINI ATZERET YIZKOR PLEDGES

Yizkor will be recited on Shemini Atzeret - Thursday, October 24th

During Yizkor, we ask that in the merit of the charity we will give (or have given) in memory of our loved ones', their neshama should be elevated. You can fulfill this pledge HERE

Alternatively, send a check to 1645 Raoul Wallenberg Blvd, Charleston SC, 29407.

​​​

For all pledges (of any amount), you can include the names of your loved ones in our upcoming Dor Tikvah Yizkor Booklet for Shemini Atzeret 5785. The latest edition of the booklet can be viewed here

Deadline for Yizkor Booklet Submissions: Sunday, October 20

We are grateful to Susan Weintrob for sponsoring the Shemini Atzeret 5785 edition of the Yizkor Book in memory of her loved ones.

LULAV & ETROG INFORMATION

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Assemble your lulav bundle before the start of Yom Tov.

  2. Hold the lulav with the spine (smooth side) towards you and slide it into the center of the koishekle (holder).

  3. Place one ring around the holder and one or two rings on the lulav itself so that the lulav rustles slightly when shaken gently.

  4. Place the three Hadas branches (myrtle – small leaves, like eyes) into the right side of the holder with the tops around 4” below the top of the shidra (the part of the spine from where the topmost leaves emerge). TIP: Don't shove the hadassim and aravot into the Lulav holder! Rather, press down on the lulav holder to widen it and gently insert the branches. It's crucial that all the leaves remain attached.

  5. Place the two Arava branches (willow – long leaves, like lips) into the left side of the holder. Their tops should be a little lower than the tops of the hadassim.

  6. Tighten the rings.

OPTIONAL CARE FOR YOUR LULAV & ETROG

  1. Cut a rectangle of aluminum foil large enough to cover the willow and myrtle. Lay it flat and cover it with a slightly smaller paper towel or newspaper.

  2. Moisten the paper slightly and wrap the paper and foil around the lulav bundle.

  3. Place the lulav bundle in the plastic bag and store in a cool place, preferably the refrigerator.

  4. When not in use, keep the lulav bundle wrapped with moist paper/foil. Periodically moisten the paper.

  5. Keep the etrog in its plastic bag within the foam-lined box for extra freshness.

 Standard Set - $54  • Premium Set - $72  • Extra Aravot - $8

NOTE: The Arbah Minim (four species) are not used on Shabbat, in fact, they have the status of muktzeh - meaning that they may not be moved at all.

ERUV TAVSHILIN

Eruv Tavshilin is a halachic practice that allows food to be cooked on Yom Tov for use on the following Shabbat. This should be performed on Erev Sukkot, Wednesday 10/16, and Erev Shmini Atzeret, Wednesday 10/23.

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Take a plate with one whole challah or matzah and either a piece of cooked fish, cooked meat, or a hard-boiled egg

2.  Recite the Beracha and recital below (PDF here)

Eruv_Tavshilin-removebg-preview_edited.p

The Eruv foods may not be eaten before Shabbat. It is a good idea to wrap the matzah/challah and cooked item to separate them from other foods.

NOTE: 

It is only permissible to cook from a pre-existent flame, i.e. one that was lit before Yom Tov.

Wishing you a  CHAG SUKKOT SAME'ACH!
