For Your Community / Sukkos and Shemini Atzeres
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. Each year, Canfei Nesharim encourages communities to focus on appreciating water on Sukkos and Shemini Atzeres.
This year we are focusing on the precious importance of water, and reminding everyone, "Don't Let Precious Water Run!"
Attention organizational/corporate sponsors: This year our Sukkot supplies are limited. We'd like to print and share more across the North American Jewish community. You can help! Great promotion opportunity. For more information, email evonne@canfeinesharim.org
