OUR CONGREGATION - A few words
Kehillat Ahavat Achim, the Jewish Congregation of New Paltz,
was founded in 1964 and has been affiliated with the
Reconstructionist Movement since 1984.

We extend a warm welcome to any who come to join with us in
worship. In keeping with the values of Reconstructionist
Judaism, we hold a tradition-respectful, liberal attitude toward
our Jewish civilization, in which egalitarian and participatory
practices are maintained. We are also committed to a respectful
attitude for other faiths, and to fostering a pluralistic society in
which all seek to further the understanding among the many
religious peoples of the one earth.

SIMCHAT TORAH

Our Simchat Torah service will
be held this year on, gasp,
Simchat Torah!  Yes, not the
nearest Shabbat or Sunday,
but right on the weekday
evening of its beginning. Join
us for a musical evening, with
Torah dancing and a lot of fun
as we end the year's reading
cycle and begin it again, and
everybody gets a chance to
really see up close what a
Torah scroll is all about.  
Tuesday evening, October 21
at 7pm.

SUKKAH
CELEBRATION

This year we will be celebrating
Sukkot by building the sukkah
in our own collective "backyard"
at the community center.  The
sukkah will be bigger and far
more accessible to the
members of our congregation.  
Join us for the dairy potluck
brunch building festivities on
the Sunday after Yom Kippur,
and then feel free to come all
during the week with lunch or a
snack to sit in the sukkah and
enjoy both the food and the
turning of the year.

Building: Sunday, October 12 at
11am.  Please bring a branch or
two (or three) and some
harvest decorations such as
gourds, pumpkins, Indian corn,
etc., as well as your potluck
dish to share.
