Tishri 22, the day after the seventh day of Sukkot, is the holiday Shemini Atzeret. In Israel, Shemini Atzeret is also the holiday of Simchat Torah. Outside of Israel, where extra days of holidays are held, only the second day of Shemini Atzeret is Simchat Torah: Shemini Atzeret is Tishri 22 and 23, while Simchat Torah is Tishri 23.
These two holidays are commonly thought of as part of Sukkot, but that is technically incorrect; Shemini Atzeret is a holiday in its own right and does not involve some of the special observances of Sukkot. We do not take up the lulav and etrog on these days, and our dwelling in the sukkah is more limited, and performed without reciting a blessing.

Do you find yourself struggling to meet people’s expectations? … community, parents, spouse, G-d, and self. In Jewish culture, these expectations can be so strong that they interfere with people’s ability to approach life in a sincere way. This episode of InOverOurHeads addresses those feelings head on. Let us know what you think at www.inoverourheads.com. Let your friends know and fan us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/In-Over-Our-Heads/175088849228.
InOverOurHeads, the first unscripted Jewish reality television series, is now on the first global network devoted to what it means to be Jewish, JLTV – the Jewish Life Television Network. InOverOurHeads sneaks a peek at the crazy lives of a few close friends. Coping with the realities of their restless existence as young, Jewish parents, they debate the absurd, laugh at convention, and reevaluate their ideals in a humorous, yet introspective way. Maintaining a decorum not quite fitting for shul [synagogue, the topics wander into sensitive areas such as marriage, parenting, religion, gender issues, and education. The discussions are honest and irreverent, often with a deep spiritual undertone. They rip apart stereotypes of observant Jews – although like most Jews, they hardly ever agree. InOverOurHeads airs Tuesdays at 8pm Eastern and 9pm Pacific, broadcasting nationwide on DirecTV channel 366, in select metropolitan areas via nationwide affiliations with Time Warner and Comcast, and online at www.jltv.tv. (Please see www.inoverourheads.com for additional air times.) JLTV currently reaches 26 million homes and is anticipated to expand to 40 million homes by year end.

This is the first clip from a debate Lee Strobel hosted between Dr. Michael Brown and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach (Shalom in the home). Michael very articulately explains some reasons, the Rabbi has a shocking response, and Michael gives his response.
Feel free to post your comments but please make sure it pertains to the discussion and isn’t vulgar, etc.

Soulful modern Orthodox Jewish Sukkot prayer worship with lulav and etrog. Led by Jeff Rohatiner with guest Chazzan Yehuda Greene. Torah reading service, led by Chazzan Lazar Wax, 39-year veteran from NYC.
The seventh day of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, 21st day of Tishrei, is known as Hoshana Rabbah (Aramaic: הוֹשַׁעְנָא רַבָּא, “Great Hoshana/Supplication”). This day is marked by a special synagogue service, the Hoshana Rabbah, in which seven circuits are made by the worshippers with their lulav and etrog, while the congregation recites Hoshanot. It is customary for the scrolls of the Torah to be removed from the ark during this procession. In a few communities a shofar is sounded after each circuit.

Five willow branches
At the conclusion of a number of Piyyutim (liturgical poems), five willow branches are beaten on the ground or other surface to symbolize the elimination of sin. This is also symbolic as a prayer for rain and success in agriculture. According to the Kabbalah, beating the ground with the five willow branches is done to “Sweeten the Five Severities”. There is no blessing said for this ritual, but the Aramaic expression “chabit, chabit velah barich” is chanted. This happens to be the oldest known Jewish custom (or Minhag) in Orthodox Judaism.
“It was customary to make one procession around the altar on each day of Sukkot, and seven on the seventh day” [Sukkah 4:5]. The priests carried the palm branches or willows in their hands. The entire ceremony is to demonstrate rejoicing and gratitude for a blessed and fruitful year. Moreover, it serves to tear down the iron wall that separates us from our Father in Heaven, as the wall of Jericho was encompassed “and the wall fell down flat” (Joshua 6). Furthermore, the seven circuits correspond to the seven words in the verse Erhatz benikayon kappay, va’asovevah et mizbahakha Hashem – “I wash my hands in purity and circle around Your altar, O Lord” (Psalms 26:6).
Each “hoshana” is done in honor of a patriarch.
Abraham
Isaac
Jacob
Moses (the most important Hebrew prophet)
Aaron (Moses’s brother, the first Kohen Gadol, or High Priest)
Joseph (the three Patriarchs and Jacob’s most famous son)
David (the most important king of Israel)

InOverOurHeads is a mind-bending reality series that sneaks a peek at the crazy lives of a few close friends.
Episode 2 deals with meeting expectations (community, parents, spouse, G-d, and self). In Jewish culture, these expectations can be so strong that they interfere with people’s ability to approach life in a sincere way.
Coping with the realities of their restless existence as young, Jewish parents, the cast debates the absurd, laughs at convention, and reevaluates their ideals in a humorous, yet introspective way. Maintaining a decorum not quite fitting for shul [synagogue], the topics wander into sensitive areas such as marriage, gender issues, and education. The discussions are honest and irreverent, often with a deep spiritual undertone. They rip apart stereotypes of observant Jews – although like most Jews, they hardly ever agree.
