Mitzvah Day, Seacoast Science Center
Sunday, October 20, 10:00
Join Tikkun Olam and Family Programs at the Seacoast Science Center for our Mitzvah Day. We will help to clean up the area and work on sprucing up the center. If you have not been to the Science Center, you will have the opportunity to see sweeping vistas and have up-close interactions with the most fascinating creatures.
Following our work at the center we invite all participants back to Temple Israel for Hoagies in the Hut, 2pm, a chance to reflect on the day and share the sukkah with our community.
During the week of Sukkot (Wednesday evening October 16 through Wedneday, October 23 before sunset), fulfill the mitzvah “to dwell” in the sukkah. Bring a snack, have a seat and recite this blessing:
Barukh Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melekh ha-olam asher kidshanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu lei’sheiv ba-sukkah.
Blessed is Adonai our G-d who sanctifies us with mitzvot and with this mitzvah to sit in the sukkah.
