Though we have all enjoyed the warm and cheerful weather of

Though we have all enjoyed the warm and cheerful weather of summer these last few
months, as the days grow cooler we know that fall is fast approaching. Soon we will need those
jackets we have kept in the closet and it is time to retrieve all the sweaters stuffed in the drawers.
With the winds blowing and the leaves changing, fall is happening before our eyes. The colors of
red and orange and yellow begin to cover the streets as the leaves fall off the trees. Activities like
swimming and tennis start to fade to leave room for new activities such as hiking, cross country,
running, and football. Aside from athletic activities there are also events such as hayrides, visiting
cider mills, as well as many festivals and carnivals. A favorite of many Michiganders is a trip to
the annual Renaissance Festival.
With the season come many exciting and entertaining events. Along with these events are
some famous holidays as well as famous birthdays. Some of these include:
•
Yom Kippur Yom Kippur - (in Hebrew yom hakippruim, “day of atonement”) is the most
2nd
sacred holy day in Judaism. It falls on the tenth day of the Hebrew month of Tishri. Yom Kippur is
a day of confession, repentance, and prayers for the forgiveness of sins committed during the
year.
•
Sweetest Day – observed the 3rd Saturday in the month of October, Sweetest Day
3rd
observance originated in Cleveland, Ohio in 1922. In the hopes of bringing happiness into the lives
of orphans, shut-ins and others who were forgotten, a philanthropist by the name of Herbert
Birch Kingston began to distribute candy and gifts to the underprivileged, thus beginning Sweetest
Day.
•
7th
Sukkot - a Hebrew word meaning "booths" or "huts", refers to the Jewish festival of giving
thanks for the fall harvest, as well as the commemoration of the forty years of Jewish wandering
in the desert.
•
9th
Columbus Day - a U.S. holiday commemorating the landing of explorer Christopher
Columbus in the West Indies on October 12, 1492. Since 1971 it has been celebrated on the second
Monday in October.
•
20th Birth of Báb - the Birthday of the Bab is observed by members of the Baha'i Faith on
October 20, the anniversary of the birth of Siyyid Ali-Muhammad in Shiraz, Persia (now Iran), in
1819. Known as the Bab ("gate"), he became an important figure in early Baha'i history.
•
31st
Halloween -The term Halloween (and its older rendering Hallowe'en) is shortened from Allhallow-even, as it is the evening of/before "All Hallows' Day"[1], also known as "All Saints' Day". It
was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions. Today the holiday
has been adapted to a night of festivities including dressing in costume.

Although Birthdays have always existed, the birthday party itself has not.
Every year we look forward to blowing out our candles on the cake in hopes of our
wishes to come true, though we are careful to not say them out loud in fear they
will not. However the history of the birthday party itself comes from an archaic
belief that evil spirits were attracted to people on their birthdays. As a means of
banishing these spirits gifts were given to ward them off. Traditionally, kings were
the only ones worthy of a birthday celebration. In hopes to keep them from harm,
friends and family would bring gifts as well as good thoughts and wishes.
Eventually the tradition was adopted to include children. The first children’s
birthday party began in Germany, Kinderfest. In 1970 Colonel Harlan Sanders
celebrated his eighty ninth birthday celebration where his attendance was the
largest in history with a total of thirty five thousand guests.
Here are some fun facts about the month of October including the flowers of
the month, birthstones, and the meaning of the word October.

Daylight Savings Time
When Do We Change Our Clocks?
Beginning in 2007, most of the United States begins Daylight
Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and
reverts to standard time on the first Sunday in November. In
the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time.
In the European Union, Summer Time begins and ends at 1:00 a.m. Universal Time
(Greenwich Mean Time). It begins the last Sunday in March and ends the last
Sunday in October. In the European Union, all time zones change at the same
moment.
Why Do We Change Our Clocks?
The main purpose of Daylight Saving Time (called "Summer Time" in many places in
the world) is to make better use of daylight. We change our clocks during the
summer months to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening.

Aside from the weather changing and the leaves turning different shades of
orange and red, many attractions and events occur between the months of September,
October, and November. Of these events include taking hayrides, visiting pumpkin
patches, as well as attending many festivals and carnivals. A favorite for many of those
living in Michigan is annually visiting Cider Mills. The state of Michigan ranks as one
of the top apple producing states among many. It is also known as the cider capital of
the Midwest. One might wonder, what is there to do at a Cider Mill? The answer is –
plenty! Not only are there delicious items to purchase, such as apple cider, warm
cinnamon doughnuts, caramel apples, and other treats, but there is something for
everyone. Many Cider Mills throughout Michigan have individual apple picking,
petting farms, pumpkin patches, and often haunted houses. During these fall months
everyone when they have a chance should visit a Cider Mill. There are locations all
over Michigan. Some of these include:
YATES CIDER MILL:
Back in 1863, the Yates Grist Mill opened in the beautiful
countryside of Rochester, Michigan. By 1876 it began
producing cider and became the Yates Cider Mill.

The Meaning of Ramadan
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. The Month of
Ramadan is also when it is believed the Holy Quran "was sent down from
heaven, a guidance unto men, a declaration of direction, and a means of
Salvation"
It is during this month that Muslims fast. It is called the Fast of
Ramadan and lasts the entire month. Ramadan is a time when Muslims
concentrate on their faith and spend less time on the concerns of their
everyday lives. It is a time of worship and contemplation
During the Fast of Ramadan strict restraints are placed on the daily
lives of Muslims. They are not allowed to eat or drink during the daylight
hours. Smoking and sexual relations are also forbidden during fasting. At
the end of the day the fast is broken with prayer and a meal called the iftar. In
the evening following the iftar it is customary for Muslims to go out visiting
family and friends. The fast is resumed the next morning.
www.holidays.net
The Meaning of Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr is a joyous occasion with important religious significance,
celebrating of the achievement of enhanced piety. It is a day of forgiveness,
moral victory, peace of congregation, fellowship, brotherhood and unity.
Muslims celebrate not only the end of fasting, but also thank God for
the help and strength that they believe he gave them throughout the previous
month to help them practice self-control. It is a time of giving and sharing, and
many Muslims dress in holiday attire.
