HAPPY SUKKOT
Rain in the Sukkah on the First Night - Although during Sukkot one may eat inside in the event of rain, there is an obligation on the first night to do the utmost to make kiddush and eat in the Sukkah. We suggest following the Mishneh Brurah (639:35) that even though there are those who say you should wait until Chatzot (middle of the night), the prevalent custom is to wait one hour after the appropriate time (about 7:02 PM) and then say Kiddush in the sukkah and eat a k'zayit (piece of bread size of an olive), but do not make the blessing of Leishev B'sukkah. Then finish the meal inside. There are opinions about going out later if the rain stops and saying the bracha. Please remember to make an Eruv Tavshilin today.
Agudath Sholom Open Sukkah We are pleased to invite the community to use our Sukkah, 301 Strawberry Hill Ave, for the mitzvah during the holiday. Feel free to bring food and eat in our Sukkah.

| So many exciting things are happening at the CASYD during Sukkot! Be sure to read carefully - we don't want you to miss any of the fun! Before I tell you about our wonderful programs, I wanted to share a special message with you (for parents and children) to ponder over Sukkot. This message was brought to my attention by Morah Yonah, who who misses all of you. Please watch the two videos (there are two.. look carefully) at http://www.daytodisconnect.com/index.php. This is a VERY powerful video that we all need to seriously think about. Sukkot is a very special time of year, especially Chol Hamoed which was traditionally time, set aside as family time. Sukkot is the perfect time to take these messages to heart. On Thursday, Friday, and Shabbat there will be regular groups (in usual locations) from 10:30 through the end of davening. In groups, our children will learn about the special tefillot of the chag, have the opportunity to make brachot on the Lulav and Etrog as well as have a snack in the shul Sukkah (weather permitting). Of course, we will also have tons of fun games, stories and programs specially designed for the holiday. On Shabbat afternoon, Oct 15th (3:30-5:30) we will be hosting our annual Sukkah Hop; this year with a new and exciting twist. As our kids begin the hop, they will be given a baggy and a Bingo card with different names of Brachot and foods. As they hop from Sukkah to Sukkah they will collect foods of various brachot and at the last stop see if they can make a Bingo. This is an excellent opportunity for our children to learn about or refresh their brachot skills. Our leaders will teach them the brachot and remind them of the laws of brachot. What a great opportunity for fun and education! Sometimes our kids learn most when they don't even know they are learning! There is no charge for this event. A special thank you to all of the families who are opening up their homes and Sukkahs to the community for this special event. Their names are listed below. Hop Schedule: IN ORDER TO SAVE SOME WALKING TIME FOR PARENTS OF THE OLDER 2 GROUPS BELOW, ANY CHILDREN WHO NEED TO BE WALKED TO THE REVONAH AREA FOR THE OLDER HOPS CAN MEET RABBI JEIGER AT THE SHUL SUKKAH AT 3:15 AND HE WILL WALK YOU OVER THERE. 1) Mini Minyan/ Tot Shabbat Sukkah Hop (through grade 1)- led by Parents +Jessica Kfare and Chaya Shochet Meet at the shul Sukkah at 3:30 pm - 301 Strawberry Hill Ave Stops along the hop: a) Seligson - 67 Apple Tree Dr b) Alexander -19 Boxwood Drive c) Cohen - 5 Boxwood Drive d) Sigman - 20 Pine Tree Drive - 5:30 pm 2) Jr. Congregation Hop (grades 2-6)- led by R.

- President Obama has Publicly Rejected Unilateral Approach
- Will Not Change Situation on the Ground
- Could Increase Potential for Violence by Raising Unrealistic Expectations of the Palestinians
- Could Embolden Israel's Critics, Legitimize Those Seeking to Isolate Israel, Delegitimize the Jewish State and Encourage Boycotts
- Would Recognize a State That Has No Direct Control Over Its Borders & Does Not Yet Exist
- Would Elevate a Palestinian State's UN and World Status
- Would Offer Symbolic Support for a Palestinian State Along '67 Lines with East Jerusalem as its Capital
- Would Undermine UN Resolutions 242 & 338 and Camp David Accords
- PA President Abbas Stated He Will Never Recognize a Jewish State
- " " " Accepted Partnership with Hamas, a Terrorist Organization
PLEASE SEND THIS MESSAGE TO OUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS: "I respectfully urge you to speak out in Congress, speeches, and op-eds against Palestinian unilateral statehood efforts at the UN. This poses a direct challenge to US interests and could have severe implications for the peace process."

We collected 300 bags - help us exceed that amount this year as the need is greater. For 20 years, the drive helps the efforts of Person-to-Person, a worthy charity offering financial support, emergency food and clothing assistance, summer programs, and college scholarship aid - all to help families break the cycle of poverty. This year, the need is greater than ever. Pick up a bag and a shopping list in the CAS lobby, fill it with canned goods, pasta, etc. and return to CAS by October 25. Info or questions? Contact CAS Food Drive Chairs Claudia & Herbie Rimerman - 203 - 569 -9625. Interested in contributing to P2P's other worthy programs? Click www.p2pdarien.org to learn more. CAS DECORUM Policy for our kids is easy - "In Shul or In Groups." Please help us maintain decorum by making sure you child is either sitting in synagogue or participating in one of our Youth Groups. During Kiddush, please make sure that your child is enjoying themselves in the Simcha Room or Social Hall - not taking food to the stairways, outside, hallway, Chapel, or Sanctuary. BAT MITZVAH PROGRAM-Matan program by Michal Smart for 6th grade girls begins late October. Contact Dierdre in the office for info.

HOLD NOVEMBER 20 FOR ANNUAL CANTOR'S CONCERT This year, Cantor Wollheim will host Stephen Glass, music director of Cong. Sha'ar Hashomayim of Montreal, Canada. Details to follow. OU SAFETY NOTE The upcoming holiday season includes three 3-day periods in which stoves cannot be turned off. If you have a gas stove and leave it on, be aware of the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Based on recent incidents of CO poisoning, the OU advises: make sure your stove is well vented, your CO detector works, call the Fire Department if the alarm goes off, and use electric appliances instead of the gas stove. OUR THOUGHTS and prayers are with the Shalit family and Israel on the joyous news of the impending release of Gilad Shalit. G-d willing, we will see his return home very soon. |
