Tishrei at Chabad: A Month of Joy, Unity, and Renewal
October 2024
By Rabbi Levi Cohen
As the month of Tishrei begins, Chabad of Charlotte is preparing for a series of uplifting programs that bring our community together in celebration and unity. This month, we focus on transitioning from the solemn and introspective Days of Awe to joyous celebrations, reflecting our commitment to a year filled with Jewish connection and positivity.
We have a fantastic lineup of children’s hands-on programs to engage our younger members. From making their own shofars at the Shofar Factory to participating in a lively Sukkot Experience and “Sukkah Hopping,” kids will have plenty of opportunities to explore and connect with the holidays in a fun, interactive way. These programs are designed to be both educational and engaging, allowing children to experience the traditions and values of Judaism in a memorable way.
For the adults, we offer a variety of meaningful events, including a warm and welcoming Rosh Hashanah Community Dinner to bring in the new year with fellowship and delicious food. There will be multiple Sukkot gatherings, providing opportunities for connection and celebration in our beautiful and recently expanded sukkah, as well as inspiring High Holiday services that offer a space for reflection, prayer, and renewal.
This year’s Simchat Torah celebration carries a special theme of resilience and unity. Marking the one-year Hebrew anniversary of the tragic terrorist attack in Israel, we are choosing to respond with strength, joy, and an even deeper commitment to our faith. Our celebration will honor the heroes of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the victims of the attack, with festivities designed to uplift and inspire. We will come together as a community to dance, sing, and celebrate the surety of being sealed for a happy new year, showing that we remain undeterred and filled with hope.
Join us at Chabad this Tishrei for a month filled with joy, unity, and renewal. Let’s embrace this opportunity to strengthen our connections, uplift our spirits, and celebrate the beauty of our Jewish heritage together.
