Erev Shemini Atzeret

Join us for evening services.

Shmini Atzeret for Hebrew Year 5783 begins at sundown on Sunday, 16 October 2022 and ends at nightfall on Monday, 17 October 2022.

Shemini Atzeret (שמיני עצרת - “the Eighth [day] of Assembly”) is a Jewish holiday. It is celebrated on the 22nd day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei (first month of calendar). In the Diaspora, an additional day is celebrated, the second day being separately referred to as Simchat Torah. In Israel and Reform Judaism, the holidays of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah are combined into a single day and the names are used interchangeably.
