We have had numerous Sukkoth events this week at Cedar Village and, of course, we have services tomorrow morning for Shemini Atzeret, beginning at 9:15 a.m. in the Synagogue with Temple services beginning at 10:00 a.m. Both services will conclude around 11:45 a.m. with a community Kiddush in the Sukkah.  On Friday morning, the Simchat Torah schedule begins with services in the Synagogue at 9:30 a.m. and the Temple follows at 9:45 a.m.  A joint Hakafot and Kiddush will take place in the Cohen Center beginning around 10:45 a.m.  Our Simchat Torah services are truly a joy to those watching as well as those participating.  Watching residents carrying Torahs, seeing the joy in their faces as they are afforded this honor, is very special and very moving.  We'd love to have you with us for any and all of these holiday celebrations-please join us if you can!

We're gearing up for the big Friends of Cedar Village Monte Carlo event on Sunday afternoon, October 10, beginning at 2 p.m.  It is a great afternoon for residents and visitors including some lively "gambling," delicious refreshments and lots of laughter.  Come and be a part of it-you'll be glad you did.

Our brick dedication in the Friends of Cedar Village Chai Court was a lovely event this past Sunday.  Each of the founders of the Friends was honored with a brick paver as a permanent part of that beautiful space. The weather cooperated with a beautiful day and we had a wonderful program that included a walk down memory lane, sharing some great stories of the development of the Friends, as well as some impromptu comments from folks who were in attendance.  It was a perfect afternoon and we look forward to the dedication of the other bricks, those placed this year in honor or in memory of someone, in October.
