Dear {contact.email_greeting},

Welcome to our Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, and Simhat Torah edition of our new Holidays Your Way Series. The High Holidays are only a little over a month away, and you can view our High Holidays Toolkit again here. This means it will be Sukkot before we know it! As always we want to give you and your communities time to prepare. These kits are a USCJ exclusive resource for our affiliated synagogues. Below is a list of everything included in this email. For further descriptions see each section. We've also included links to our previous High Holidays Toolkit from the series for easy reference.

Please note: This tool kit is focused on the yomim tovim of Sukkot, Simhat Torah, and Shemini Atzeret, and does not cover October 7 commemoration. Please keep an eye on your inbox for a full tool kit dedicated to October 7 anniversary commemoration coming soon, including a program outline, liturgy, and communications templates. Thank you for your understanding. Am Yisrael Chai!

Sukkot is a great time of year to engage with the teens and youth in your synagogue. You can also utilize Rosh Hashanah as a time to advertise these events for your youth community. To help get your creativity going, USY has developed a list of some helpful program ideas for various age levels from 3rd-12th along with a brief description of each program.
