Dear Friends,

What an amazing Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur we had. We celebrated together with a strong community of hundreds of young inspired Jews. Neila alone had close to 200 in attendance.

We now move into Sukkot. The holiday of JOY.

A sukkah is an embrace. You sit inside and G‑d is hugging you. All of you, from head to toe.

Whatever you do inside your sukkah - sip a beer, chat with a friend, answer your e‑mail, or just sleep soundly - all is transformed into a mitzvah, a secure and timeless connection with the Infinite.

And then, when you leave the Sukkah to enter the world, you carry that hug with you.

All of life can become an embrace. A hug with the Infinite.

Wishing you an joyous holiday, chag sameach,

Rabbi Mendy & Mussy

p.s. As always, we would love to chat with you over coffee or drinks, about Judaism, or just life - reply to this email.
