Chabad
THE HIGH HOLIDAY SEASON 5782 AT CHABAD OF NASHVILLE
During the High Holidays, the doors to heaven are open to all… so are ours! The 5782 High Holiday Cycle will be a unique one, as COVID-19 has changed our routine. Chabad of Nashville will be hosting services for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur with social distancing, and all safety precautions presented by the CDC will be in place. Due to Covid-19 and social distancing requirements a limited number of seats are available. Chabad does not charge for High Holiday Tickets, however advance registration is required.
During the services the rabbi will share insights and inspirational stories related to the significance of the day, prayers will be recited in Hebrew and English, all in a warm and family friendly atmosphere, and children’s services will be offered for young families.
Whether your background in Jewish prayer and practice is extensive or limited, the services will leave you feeling enriched, connected, uplifted, and energized to start your new year off in a most meaningful way.

Order your Own Personal Lulav and Etrog Set
"You shall take for yourselves...the fruit of a citron tree, the branches of date palms, twigs of a plaited tree, and brook willows." (Leviticus 23) During the Holiday of Sukkot, we observe the Mitzvah of the Lulav & Esrog (The Four Kinds).
As this year some families will not be attending services in person due to COVID19 precautions, Chabad of Nashville is pleased to make this beautiful Mitzvah available to every family in the Nashville community. Chabad is offering a special opportunity of ordering your own Lulav and Etrog set from the Holy Land, Israel. It is a beautiful Mitzvah for each family to have their own set for Sukkot, as this is a very special Mitzvah. These sets are available to order at www.chabadnashville.com.
All orders must be placed by September 3, 2021
Chabad to host "Sukkot in the Cloud" and "Kosher Pizza in the Hut"
Sukkot is known as the Festival of Joy, and as the holiday celebrating the fall harvest. On the holiday of Sukkot the Sages declared it a mitzvah to eat 14 meals in the sukkah, and in keeping with the holiday’s agricultural meaning, gratefulness is expressed to God after the harvest through the eating of autumn fruits and vegetables.
A wonderful way to connect to nature is to cook with what is in season locally. In Tennessee we are blessed with a bountiful fall harvest. Hearty homemade soups accompanied by an assortment of breads are a wonderful way for your family and guests to warm up during the chilly fall evenings in the sukkah.
Join friends and family as Chabad of Nashville will be welcoming the joyous holiday of Sukkot with a festive holiday socially distant Sukkot celebration at “Sukkot in the Cloud,” on Tuesday, September 21, at 12:30 PM, at the Chabad of Nashville Sukkah Plaza. The festivities will include locally grown produce harvested by local farmers, in the spirit of the Festival of Harvest.
On Sunday, September 26, 5:00 PM, all are invited for an evening of “Kosher Pizza in the Hut.” Guests will warm their body and soul, savor the spirit of Sukkot and enjoy Kosher Pizza flown in from new York, as the Festival of joy will be celebrated with a warm and hearty socially distant Sukkot dinner.
Participants at these events will have the opportunity to do the Lulav Shake. There is no cost to participate in these two sukkot events. RSVP appreciated at chabadnashville.com
Simchat Torah Under the Stars
Chabad will host Simchat Torah Under the Stars, with an upbeat and joyous family friendly Simchat Torah celebration on Tuesday, September 28, at 7:00 PM. This event will include a festive holiday NY style deli dinner, a Simcha bar for L'chaim's of joy, dancing with torah, and flags for the kids.
This event will take place in the courtyard of Chabad of Nashville and culminates in the ultimate joy of the High Holiday season, and all are invited to participate. Go to chabadnashville.com for more information.
