Sukkot follows the high holy days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Why? Rabbi Chanania Englesman shares the answer he likes the most.
YOM KIPPUR
#WeAreOne
Schultz Circle filled for an Erev Yom Kippur paired-learning program. Sixth-12th Grade students formed circles with Chaverim-5th Grade buddies to discuss three types of Miztvot, share examples of Teshuvah, Tefillah, and Tzedakah, and raised their voices together in song.
