Chabad of Nashville

Chabad to host "Sukkot in the Cloud" and "Sushi in the Sukkah"

Sukkot is known as the Festival of Joy, and as the Holiday celebrating the fall harvest. On the 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 Sunday, October 9, 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 Friday, October 14, 5:30 PM, all are invited for an evening of "Sushi in the Sukkah." Guests will warm their body and soul, savor the spirit of Sukkot and enjoy Kosher Sushi, as the Festival of joy will be celebrated with a delicious Shabbat Sushi Dinner in the Sukkah.

Participants at these events will have the opportunity to do the Lulav Shake before lighting the Shabbat candles. 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 Monday, October 17, at 7:00 PM.

The event will take place in the courtyard of Chabad of Nashville, and culminates the ultimate joy of the High Holiday season, and all are invited to participate.

Chabad to offer a new course: Biblical Tales of Kings, Warriors and Prophets on the Book of Kings

During the winter and spring of 2022 Chabad of Nashville offered a successful course on the Biblical Book of Samuel that was attended by many students from across the spectrum of the Nashville community. Due the great success of this course and by great demand from many participants, Chabad will be presenting a new series of Biblical Tales of Kings, Warriors and Prophets, on the Book of Kings. This will take place over two semesters, fall of 2022 and winter of 2023, on Monday evenings, beginning October 31 at 7:30 PM.

The Book of Kings from the Tanach (Prophets) records the history of the Israelites and their kings, from David's passing until the Babylonian exile (837-423 BCE). It is divided into two equal parts, beginning with an account of the end of King David's reign, Solomon's succession and reign, and the disruption of the kingdom at his death, and continuing with the parallel histories of the kingdoms of Judah and Israel.

Participants will be immersed in the richness of the Jewish Scriptures and discover the hidden meanings that have been lost over centuries of translations, and delve into the fascinating world of the ancient prophets of Israel. This new learning opportunity explores the dramatic stories and powerful messages contained in the Book of Kings.

The lessons will take place on Monday evenings, starting October 31. For more information or to register go to www.chabadnshville.com or call 615-646-5750

NOURISH YOUR SOUL

“וְאָ֣הַבְתָּ֔ אֵ֖ת יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ בְּכׇל־לְבָבְךָ֥ וּבְכׇל־נַפְשְׁךָ֖

You shall love your God יהוה with all your heart, with all your soul…”

-Deuteronomy 6

A person with a beautiful soul is kind, confident, genuine, and balanced. People with beautiful souls make others feel safe and at peace. You get a physical every year. It is time for your spiritual! Tonight, Jews gather in synagogues and online all over the world to take a reflective look “under the hood” and recalibrate our moral compasses within. On this, the holiest night of the year, be inspired by the warmth of a compassionate community, moved by the majesty of the music, and transformed by the journey of the soul.

YOM KIPPUR - A DAY OF FORGIVENESS: Wednesday, October 5th, at 10:00 AM

In-Person and on Livestream on Micah Website, Facebook, YouTube

CONNECT WITH YOUR BODY

“עַד שֶׁיָּצְתָה נִשְׁמָתוֹ - until his soul left his body”

-Berakhot 61b

Judaism teaches that the body and soul are separate yet indivisible partners in human life. Rather than imprisoning or corrupting the soul, the body is a God-given tool for doing sacred work in the world. It requires protection, care, and respect because it is holy. At Micah every-BODY is welcome. Link your voices to the collective prayers of our people in-person or virtually in what is certain to be the most moving Monday morning on your calendar this year. Deny your body the food you feed yourself every day and feast instead on feelings of reflection, repentance, and a resolve to do better. Spend the day praying and reflecting with us and it is sure to go fast! And nothing will improve your character more than the “Coming to Micah Moments” that this holy morning affords.

PINK CHALLAH BAKE

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30th, 1:00-3:30pm at AKIVA SCHOOL (809 Percy Warner Blvd, Nashville, TN, 37205)

Please join us for this special Baking Out Breast Cancer event! Learn to bake challah and try new braiding techniques!

THIS PROGRAM IS FREE, WITH A SUGGESTED DONATION OF $36

This community wide challah bake will bring Jewish women together from all corners of Nashville and Middle Tennessee, to make challah and further Breast and Ovarian cancer and BRCA awareness. This is particularly important because so many of us are of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. One in 40 Ashkenazi Jewish women have a BRCA mutation.

Knowing your genetics can be scary, but also very powerful. We chose to bring Myriad genetics to the event, as they are the gold standard for genetic testing. A doctor and phlebotomist will be on site for those who wish to have their genetics tested (blood drawn and sent to a lab with results in 2-3 weeks) for all of the known hereditary cancers.

We will also hear from several speakers including: Rabba Daniella Pressner, Dr. Ingrid Mayer, Sara Hanai, Pam Abromowitz, and BRAgroups, a Nashville based breast cancer support group.

And, finally, we will have the opportunity to uphold the long-standing tradition Jewish women have of making challah from scratch, together! We hope you can join us, as this is sure to be an engaging and inspiring event!
