Ready to Dance this Yom Kippur?

With all the fasting, remorse and regrets, one generally would not categorize Yom Kippur as a "happy day."  But it is!  In fact, the Mishnah regards it as the most joyous day on the entire Jewish calendar.  In ancient times, it was the Festival of the Dancing Maidens as the daughters of Jerusalem would dance in the vineyards (apparently while fasting) in the hope of finding their soulmates. (Ta'anit 4:8)


How do we reconcile fasting, contrition, and joy?  Rabbi Joseph Dov Soloveichik z'tl (1900-1993), explains that there is no greater happiness than achieving a sense of clarity and purpose. Yom Kippur is the day "we stand before God" and are able to make life's big decisions.   No other decision determines our trajectory in life more than who we choose to marry.  It's no coincidence that matchmaking was reserved for the day of Yom Kippur.

 

Let us fast and beat our hearts, but let us also feel the joy of knowing we are back in focus and on the track to greatness.  What will your big decision be?

 
Gemar chatimah Tova - may we all be inscribed for goodness.

Simchat Torah Hosts & Sponsors


As the day quickly approaches, the glorious Adas tradition continues as we anticipate over 400 participants in attendance to celebrate.  Each year the celebrations include a communal dinner and luncheon, open to the whole community, made possible by our Simchat Torah Hosts & Sponsors.  If you are in the position to help, we welcome your generosity.  The cost to host these events is very significant but the communal experience is transformative.

 
We welcome Simchat Torah Sponsors ($75) & Hosts ($250).  Both Sponsor & Host names will be featured on the posters in the hall. "Hosts" will have reserved seating for both meals. To participate call 905-528-0039, or pay via credit card/paypal by clicking on the following links:

A Message from Jewish Social Services
Dear Community Member,

Each year Yom Tov presents a difficult challenge for many of our Hamilton Jewish Families. 

Your donation to the food bank will help provide canned goods, meat, chicken, and produce that will assist less fortunate families to join us all celebrate the holidays

please give generously. Drop off your donation at your shul office, the JCC, The JSS, or Hamilton Kosher.  This year we have made it even easier to do the mitzvah by directly contributing on the food bank website:
