Eiruv Tavshillin - We make an Eiruv Tavshillin on Erev Sukkot, Wednesday, October 16. The Eiruv Tavshillin allows us to make all necessary preparations during the day on Friday, the second day of Sukkot, October 18, for Shabbat which follows immediately afterwards. However, unlike a regular Friday afternoon, it is important to make sure that all foods prepared for Shabbat be totally cooked and edible well before Shabbat begins. 

The Eiruv consists of a matzah, and a cooked food, such as meat, fish, or an unpeeled hard-boiled egg. For details of the procedure and the appropriate Brachah that should be made, consult the siddur (Tehillat Hashem page 327) or see  here.

 

We look forward to seeing you for the Simchat Torah Celebration.

There are considerable costs for all the kiddushim, Please partner with us and contribute to this beautiful celebration.
