Celebrate Shavuot with Lubavitch of Wisconsin. Discover service times, events, and resources to help you observe Shavuot meaningfully with your community! Shavuot In Wisconsin with Chabad Lubavitch June 1-5, 2025 Preceded by 49 days of counting in eager anticipation, Shavuot is a two-day Jewish holiday that commemorates the date when G‑d gave the Torah to the Jewish people at Mount Sinai over 3,000 years ago. The giving of the Torah was a far-reaching spiritual event—one that touched the essence of the Jewish soul for all times. Our sages have compared it to a wedding between G‑d and the Jewish people. Shavuot also means “oaths,” for on this day G‑d swore eternal devotion to us, and we in turn pledged everlasting loyalty to Him. Every year on the holiday of Shavuot we renew our acceptance of G‑d’s gift, and G‑d “re-gives” the Torah. Shavuot is celebrated through desisting from work, candle-lit dinners, staying up all night to study Torah , listening to the reading of the Ten Commandments in synagogue, enjoying dairy foods and more.

Celebrate Rosh Hashanah with Lubavitch of Wisconsin. Discover service times, events, and resources to help you connect spiritually, hear the shofar, and observe the Jewish New Year meaningfully with your community. Rosh Hashanah In Wisconsin with Chabad Lubavitch Sept. 22-24, 2025 Rosh Hashanah commemorates the birthday of the universe, the day G‑d created Adam and Eve - the center of the universe. It celebrates the Jewish and the World New Year. It begins at sundown on the eve of Tishrei 1 and ends after nightfall on Tishrei 2. The central observance of Rosh Hashanah is blowing the shofar (ram’s horn) on both mornings of the holiday (except on Shabbat), which is normally done in synagogue as part of the day’s services. Rosh Hashanah feasts traditionally include round challah bread (studded with raisins) and apples dipped in honey, as well as other sweet foods that symbolize our wishes for a sweet year. Other Rosh Hashanah observances include candle lighting in the evenings and desisting from creative work. (that's in every holiday so either it should be in every one or not even here . And if yes, it should be at the beginning of the observances.) Together with Yom Kippur (which culminates 10 days of repentance), it is referred to as the Yamim Nora'im (Days of Awe, or High Holidays).

Celebrate Sukkot and Simchat Torah with Lubavitch of Wisconsin. Find events, service times, and resources to experience the joy of the festivals including ordering a lulav and etrog, purchasing or locating a sukkah, and finding a Simchat Torah celebration near you. Sukkot & Simchat Torah In Wisconsin with Chabad Lubavitch October 16-23, 2024 The seven days of Sukkot are celebrated by dwelling in the sukkah, taking the Four Kinds – a palm branch (lulav), two willows (aravot), a minimum of three myrtles (hadassim) and one citron (etrog) – and rejoicing. Sukkot is followed by Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah (October 23-25). Sukkot — when we expose ourselves to the elements in greenery-covered huts — commemorates G‑d sheltering our ancestors as they traveled from Egypt to the Promised Land. The Four Kinds express our unity and our belief in G‑d’s omnipresence. Coming after the solemn High Holidays, Sukkot is a time of joy and happiness. The first two days (or one day in Israel) are yom tov, when work is forbidden, candles are lit in the evening, and festive meals are preceded with Kiddush and contain challah dipped in honey. The remainder of the days are quasi holidays, known as chol hamoed. We dwell in the sukkah and take the Four Kinds every day (except for Shabbat, when we do not take the Four Kinds).
