RABBI’S MESSAGE
As we approach Yom Kippur, may we each be blessed with a full
year of life, joy and good health. Rav Soloveitchik zt’l, has often
been quoted, "ein kedusha bli hachana." Namely, there is no
sanctity without preparation. Therefore, it is worthwhile to remind
ourselves of some of the preparations that are customary on Erev
Yom Kippur.
1. EAT - The Gemara teaches that "All who eat on the ninth of
Tishrei are considered to have fasted on the ninth and the tenth
(i.e. Yom Kippur) It is a mitzvah to eat and drink on Erev Yom
Kippur. This both gives us strength for the fast and might also
substitute for the usual Yom Tov meals.
2. TZEDAKAH – We should increase our charitable giving on this day
to stand a merit for us on Yom Kippur.
3. ASK FORGIVENESS: Sins committed against another person
cannot be atoned for until one has first sought forgiveness from
the person he/she has wronged.
4. MIKVAH - Men have the custom to go to the mikvah.
5. KAPAROT - The kaparot provide a reminder that Teshuva
repentance can save us from the penalty that our many sins
deserve. (coins may be used and, for some, even preferred instead
of live chickens)
6. VIDUY - Confession is recited at mincha (during the silent
Amidah) BEFORE the seudah mafsekes, the final pre-Yom Kippur
meal.
7. SHABBAT & YOM TOV CANDLELIGHTING – For those lighting
candles, they must include both Shabbat and Yom Kippur in the
bracha followed by Shehchiyanu and additionally they should not
recite Shehchiyanu in the shul when the congregation recites it.
Finally, let us remember to actively daven not only for ourselves
and our families but to also pray for our friends and neighbors. The
Rabbis teach, that one who davens for his neighbor, his prayers are
answered first.

Detailed Schedule for Davening over Yom Kippur:
In an effort to keep everyone as informed as possible, you will find
the Yom Kippur zemanim plan/davening times listed in the bulletin
on Page 1. We hope you find this helpful.
New Digital Screens: In continuing with the theme of open and
clear communication, you will find new digital screens in the lobby
of the Zauder Sanctuary, the Main Shul. The plan is for these
screens to display relevant shul information. We plan to have
remote access to program them so keeping the information
relevant and up to date will be a task completed with ease.
Our Sincere Thanks: We wish to express sincere thanks and
appreciation to our valued Kingsway members for donating their
time and hard earned money to the shul over the course of 5774.
Kingsway provides a myriad of shiurim and activities for our
families and friends throughout the year. Time honored tradition
here at Kingsway is to publicly thank the Chairpeople of our
various Committees. We have reviewed the list (checked it twice).
We plan to take a few minutes between Mincha and Neilah to
remind us all of the importance of Hakorat Hatov and to remind
Hashem of the good that people do at Kingsway.
Kiddushim Reminders:
1) Simchat Torah Kiddush- $100 per family. This Kiddush is a full
Kiddush with stuffed cabbage, etc.
2) Rosh Chodesh Kiddushim- $200 per family for the season
usually gets us 10 months of Kiddushim.
Kol Nidre Pledges: In the zechus/merit of the Tzedaka you have
given to Kingsway for Kol Nidre in particular, we wish you, your
families and friends a G'mar Tov. If you have not yet made your Kol
Nidre pledge, it is not too late. Payments can be made via check,
credit card, PayPal or calling the office.
Wishing a G'mar Tov to us allYitz Elman and Jeff Grodko- Presidium

Torah Kiddush. Starting Shabbat Bereishit we will be using
updated prize passes and will no longer be taking old prize
passes, so make sure to redeem all of your old prize passes on
Simchat Torah (there will be a make up date for those who
aren't here on Simchat Torah).
