We end the festival of Sukkot and celebrate the completion of the annual reading of the Torah. Our combined service includes special melodies for the prayers, Kohelet, Hakafot, Torah Aliyot for everyone, Special Musaf prayer for Geshem (rain) and Yizkor. This year we will honor Kallah and Chatan HaTorah- Frances Marshall and Bob Loeb— in recognition for their work as co-chairs of the Rabbinic Search Committee and Chatanim Beresheet, Harold Flamenbaum, CSS Technical Advisor and Bill Steinberg, CSS Program Leader.
