Hoshana Rabba Night of Learning

Celebrate the last night of Sukkot with a community Hoshana Rabba Night of Learning in the sukkah! Central Reform Congregation joins Bais Abraham Congregation and Kol Rinah for this evening, part of NJOP’s Sukkot Across America.

We’ll begin at 6:30 pm with heavy appetizers and snacks, followed at 7:00 pm by a full-group singing experience led by Will Soll. Then choose your learning across three breakout sessions, with several class options at each.

Teachers: Rabbi Noah Arnow, Leora Balinsky, Rabbi Daniel Bogard, Sage Ferraro Doughty, Rabbi Eliezer Finkelstein, Rabbi James Goodman, Avi Mazzeo, Will Soll and Becky Nelson-Zoole.

What is Hoshana Rabba?

Hoshana Rabba, “the Great Hoshana,” is the seventh and final day of Sukkot. It takes its name from the hoshanot, prayers for blessing and abundance chanted while circling with the lulav and etrog, and it has long been a night for staying up late with Torah study. It is a joyful way to close the festival season before Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah. Learn more about the fall holidays at CRC on our Holidays page.

This event is free and open to all; donations are encouraged to help underwrite it.
