Celebrating the Hakhel Year at
Lubavitch in Scotland
At the end
of every seven years, at an appointed time, in the Festival of
Sukkot [following] the year of
Shemitah. When all Israel comes to appear
before the Lord, your
G‑d, in the place He will choose, you shall read this
Torah before all Israel, in their ears. Assemble the people: the men,
the women, the children...—Deuteronomy
31:10-12.
Here in
Scotland we are running numerous extra activities
this year in the hope that every Jew in Scotland will be spiritually
inspired to learn more Torah and keep more Mitzvois.
Activities
so far have included:
* Pre Rosh Hashona Ladies & Gents Lunch & Learn
* Rosh Hashona Lunch both days
* Succos afternoon teas on two days
