For Your Community / Sukkos and Shemini Atzeres
 |
| Welcome to our Sukkos and Shemini Atzeres pages. |
On Sukkos, we celebrate water through the Simchas Beis Hashoeva (Celebration of the Water Drawing Ceremony) and we continue recognizing the value of water through tefilat geshem, the beginning of our prayers for rain. Our rabbis and ancestors understood that water is essential for life, and that we rely on Hashem to provide all our needs. This year, take the time on Sukkos and Shemini Atzeres to reflect on our natural resources and our dependence on Hashem's blessing of rain.
Join Canfei Nesharim in appreciating water and the connections between Torah, nature, and our responsibility to protect the environment.
This year we are broadening our emphasis from saving water to improving the quality of our water and the effects of water on our health.
