SUKKOTH IN OUR SYNAGOGUE
A Week To Remember
Now that the
High Holy Days
are
past, we turn to the Harvest Festival
of Sukkoth. The solemn and ponder¬
ous moods of the Days of Awe fade
the background as the joy and
gaiety of Sukkoth fill our hearts.
The holiday of Sukkoth begins this
Saturday, October 17th and will last
into
for
a full week. What kind of a week
will it be at Kehilath Jeshurun?

The Sunday noon lunch has been de¬
signated as "Men's Club and Sister¬

expect to have many members of
these congregational affiliates enjoy¬
ing the atmosphere of gaiety in the
Sukkah. Naturally, the special guests in
the Sukkah will be the children, who
usually contribute as much joy to all
the adults as they gain for themselves.

are not carried, the use of these

the outstanding feature of the services
will be the grand march around the

Among other topics, this class will

OUR
SPECIAL THANKS
Worshippers in our Synagogue dur¬
ing the High Holy Days could not fail
to be impressed
by the order and
decorum which prevailed in the House
of God. The planning of the service
and its execution by the Synagogue
officials, naturally contributes greatly
to the dignity of our services.
There is, however, a group in the
Synagogue which works quietly and
unobtrusively to insure the proper
mood during the services. We have

to the
Senior and Junior
Ushers. We are anxious to express our
thanks to them for a job well done.
