Below is a brief report on the activities of the last few weeks and a few local stories so that you can see what your support is helping us accomplish in this town and community. Your support is a part of every Neshoma that is touched through this work.
1. Jewish New Year Fair - Just two weeks before Rosh Hashanah we had a very successful Jewish New Year Fair which featured a Shofar Factory, a petting zoo, Challah Baking, arts and crafts and more. Here are some photos of this amazing event which drew in many families and several first timers to Chabad.
2. Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur Services – This year marked our biggest year yet of High Holiday Services. We started off with a community Rosh Hashanah Dinner at our center and then had Rosh Hashanah Services with about 100 individuals and Yom Kippur we had an unprecedented 130+ people come through including many new faces and many people that we have been working on over the year. We also held a very moving Service in a local senior center for seniors and their families.
3. Sukkot – Over Sukkos we held several services and programs including a Sushi in the Sukkah evening which attracted 30 adults and was a truly wonderful and inspiring evening, and a family Sukkot celebration during which we also had several new faces. Pictures can be seen here. Senior Programs, Miftza Lulav and several other things were also happening here.
4. Shemini Atzeret & Simchat Torah – On Shemini Atzeret we held a Bar Mitzvah for a boy from Sudbury and we had a packed house and a great celebration. Simchas Torah followed with two great joyful and inspiring celebrations of song, dance, and inspiration. No digital pictures unfortunately only emotional ones.
