| 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. |
