A Movie, Tefillot and Study Night in the Rehovot Community Sukkah

The following events are planned to take place inside the Community Sukkah, located in front of the Havaya Matnas in Rehovot, on Sereni Street (across from Miller Street). All residents of Rehovot (and the surroundings) are invited.

1. Beit Midrash Patuach (Open House of Study). 8-9:00 a.m., every day of hol hamoed Sukkot (19-24.10.05).

Enjoy eating fruit (on the house, in the Sukkah) and learning about the arbah minim (four species), the holiday of Sukkot and most anything else you wondered about.

2. Tefillot ala Tzohar (Prayers with Explanations). 9-10:00 a.m., every day of hol hamoed Sukkot (19-24.10.05).

Participate in the traditional sukkot prayers, with explanations, in the spirit of the Yom Kippur service which took place at the Community Center this year.

3. Ushpizin: The Movie. 20:30 on Wednesday, 19.10.05. Enjoy one of most sensitive Israeli movies in recent memory. The story takes place on Sukkot in the Haredi section of Jerusalem. Ushpizin are holy guests who are traditionally invited into the Sukkah. The movie focuses on the lives of Moshe and Mali, as they receive some rather strange ushpizin into their sukka. Check out the details on the movie's official website, then greet "Ushpizin" in
the Rehovot Community Sukka!

4. Tikkun Leil Hoshana Rabbah (Hoshana Rabba Study Night). Sunday evening, 23.10.05, from 20:00 to midnight and beyond. Topics include "The Religious Experience and Philosophy," "Judaism and Psychology," "Judaism and Science: Conflicts and Resolutions," and "Judaism and Nature: The Significance of Chag Ha'asif." Put this date on your calendar!
