HIGH HOLIDAY HOME SERVICE INFORMATION 5774 – 2013/2014
HOME SERVICE FOR ROSH HASHANAH EVE
Wednesday Evening, September 4th and Thursday Evening, September 5th
The New Year, like the Sabbath and Festivals, is welcomed in the home with prayer and festivity.
Congregational ritual is enriched when preceded by family and friends celebrating at home. The table
should be given a festive appearance – flowers and an attractive table will help everyone feel the
significance of the occasion. At each plate there is a bit of honey, a slice of apple and a cup of wine. Two
loaves of challah are also on the table.
On both evenings light the candles and recite the following blessings:
Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, asher kidishanu b’mitzvotav vetsivanu l’hadlik ner
shel ( on Friday evening add: shel Shabbat ve) yom tov.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by Your mitzvot and
commanded us to kindle (on Friday evening add: the Sabbath and) the Festival lights.
Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, shehechiyanu v’kiyemanu v’higianu lazman
hazeh.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive, preserved us and
enabled us to reach this season.
After the Rosh Hashanah Kiddush is said over the wine and the hamotzi recited over the challah, all
present dip a slice of the apple in honey and recite:
Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, boray p’ri ha-etz.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the tree.
YOM KIPPUR
Friday Evening, September 13th and Saturday, September 14th
FASTING IN THE JEWISH TRADITION
Jewish tradition obligates us to fast on Yom Kippur as an expression of remorse and repentance. It also
helps us to achieve the kind of undistracted concentration and introspection that is the essence of the
Yom Kippur experience. Moreover, while fasting we identify with the suffering and hunger of all peoples
throughout the world. This religious obligation, however, applies only to those whose health permits them
to fast. Worshipers who are in doubt should consult with their personal physician before beginning the
sundown to sundown fast. As we consider the religious obligation to fast, it is appropriate to think of those
who are hungry involuntarily and participate in the Project Isaiah Food Drive. Children below the age of
Bar/Bat Mitzvah should be taught to fast by beginning with a few hours fast and increasing it each year
until at thirteen they fast throughout Yom Kippur. The fast begins with the kindling of Yom Kippur candles
and concludes with the sounding of the Shofar at the end of Neilah.
5774 HH Information Page 6
HOME SERVICE FOR YOM KIPPUR EVE
Unlike the meal held on the eves of Sabbaths and other festivals, there are no special rituals
connected with the Erev Yom Kippur meal, because it is eaten before the sacred day begins. The
Mitzvot of Hamotzi and the Birkat Hamazon should be observed as at any meal. This meal,
which is called Seudah Mafseket (the concluding meal before a fast) should begin early so that it
is completed before the onset of the Holy Day. No kiddush is recited.
The candles are lit and the following is recited:
Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam asher kidishanu b’mitzvotav vetsivanu
lehadlik ner shel Yom Hakippurim.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by Your
mitzvot, who commands us to kindle the lights of the Day of Atonement.
Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, shehechiyanu v’kiyemanu v’higianu
lazman hazeh.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive, preserved us
and enabled us to reach this season.
SUKKOT, SHEMINI ATZERET AND SIMCHAT TORAH
Wednesday Evening, September 18th through Friday, September 27th
It is a mitzvah for every Jew to participate in the building and decoration of a sukkah which, by tradition,
we begin to construct immediately after the conclusion of Yom Kippur. The sukkah may be built in a yard
or on a roof or on a balcony. If you are not building your own Sukkah, consider assisting in the building or
decorating of the Sukkah at the synagogue or at the home of friends. You are also encouraged to
purchase a lulav and etrog that will be used throughout the festival. Those who have a lulav and etrog will
participate in processions with the Torah (not on Shabbat and not on Shemini Atzeret or Simchat Torah)
during the morning services.
To order a lulav and etrog contact the synagogue office at 634-0777.
The following blessing is recited while holding the lulav and etrog:
Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam asher kidishanu bemitvotav vetsivanu al
netilat lulav.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by Your
mitzvot, who commands us for the taking of lulav.
HOME SERVICE FOR SUKKOT
Eating meals in the sukkah is a most enjoyable way to celebrate this festival. Inviting friends to share
meals in the sukkah enhances the joy of the holiday.
The Sukkot candles are lighted and the following blessing recited:
Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, asher kidishanu b’mitzvotav vetsivanu
l’hadlik ner (on Friday: Shabbat ve) shel yom tov.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by Your
mitzvot and commanded us to kindle the (on Friday evening add: Sabbath and) Festival
lights.
Baruch atah Adonay Eloheynu melech ha-olam, shehechiyanu v’kiyemanu v’higianu
lazman hazeh.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive, preserved us
and enabled us to reach this season..
