IMPORTANT UPDATE
In light of revised guidance from CDC, and with the
understanding that Brevard County is currently an area of high
transmission, Temple Israel of Brevard requires that all
individuals entering our facility (i.e., INDOORS) wear a mask.
Temple Israel of Brevard recommends that people maintain social
distancing outside while unmasked.
PARASHAT
Chol HaMo-eid Sukkot
סכת המעד חול Intermediate Days of Sukkot
Moses said to the Eternal, "See, You say to me, 'Lead this people forward,' but You have not made known to
me whom You will send with me. Further, You have said, 'I have singled you out by name, and you have, indeed,
gained My favor.'"- Exodus 33:12
On the Shabbat during Sukkot, we are reminded of the age-old desire to know God. Moses implores God to let
him see God. While God will not allow Moses to see God’s face, God tells Moses, “I will make My goodness pass before you…” Perhaps we experience the divine
presence through the goodness we create in the world. The Torah then sets forth the thirteen attributes of God, among them that God is compassionate, gracious, slow to anger and abounding in kindness. By emulating these very attributes, we create the goodness which allows us
to know God.

7:00 PM Shemini Azeret/Simchat Torah Yizkor
A little insight into this holiday courtesy of Rabbi Pat:
Historically, Sh’mini Atzeret and Simchat Torah were two separate holidays (a day of reflection after the end of Sukkot and
a celebration of Torah the following day). However, in Israel and in Reform congregations, which generally
observe one day of holidays rather than two, Sh’mini Atzeret is observed concurrently with Simchat Torah. Yet, on Sh’mini
Atzeret we are to remember our loved ones as one of the four Yizkor services we have throughout the year, on Yom Kippur,
Sukkot, Pesach and Shavuot. This year we will be having a Yizkor service on Monday night, September 27 at 7 pm, which will conclude our Fall Holy Days
Services.

We hope you all had a Happy New Year and easy fast on Yom Kippur. Our bagel and cookie break the fast worked well for those
who were in the synagogue at the end of the day.
Help is needed to organize Onegs. At this time, we have been doing abbreviated Onegs so the preparation has been scaled down. Please consider volunteering to help. We will give you all the information you need. Contact Sue Glazier at [email protected] or 321-480-
