Tishrei 5786 Chaggim Megathread ב

By chavurah on September 14, 2025

This is the second megamegathread for the holidays of Tishrei! I missed posting last week, but since nothing of any significance in any way happened anywhere in the world last week, clearly the thread was not missed.

All the chaggim in the month of Tishrei are:

This is NOT in any way meant to limit the number of YN, RH, YK, AYT, S, ShAtz, or ST-related posts standing alone on the sub, but rather provide a central location for questions, comments, and advice as we approach these highest of holidays. However, wherever, and with whomever you’re going to get your name written and sealed in the Book of Life, you won’t be alone for this most repentant time of our year. Ask questions and share ideas here to help your fellow Jews the world over move from 5785 to 5786 with as much teshuva, tefilah, and tzedaka as possible.

Note: Questions about fasting as they pertain to your health status, including taking certain medications, should be directed first to your doctor and then to your rabbi (or maybe ask them simultaneously, but the doctor ought to be consulted early). Please do not ask these questions here. Any such questions will be removed.

Some resources to introduce ראש השנה‎, the New Year:

This year, Yom Trua begins the evening of Monday, September 22, and runs through Wednesday, September 24. On haLuakh haIvri, it happens on 1-2 Tishrei.

Some resources to introduce יום כפור, the Day of Atonement:

This year, Johm haKeepourim begins the evening of Wednesday, October 01 and runs through Thursday, October 02. On haLuakh haIvri, it all happens on 10 Tishrei.

Some resources to introduce סוכות, the Feast of Tabernacles:

This year, Souqqoethe begins the evening of Monday, October 06 and runs through Monday, October 13. On haLuakh haIvri, it all happens on 15-21 Tishrei.

Some resources to introduce שמיני עצרת, the Eighth Day of Gathering, and שמחת תורה, Rejoicing with the Torah:

These two holidays are often grouped because of the way they are. To save space, I invite our resident Hebrew horologists and time-sensitive Tannaim to explain further.

This year, Shmyny Atzereth begins the evening of Monday, October 13 and runs through Tuesday, October 14. On haLuakh haIvri, it all happens on 22 Tishrei.

Within Eretz Yisrael, Simhat Toreh is the same day as Shmeenee Atzereth.

Without Eretz Yisrael, it traditionally begins the evening of Tuesday, October 14 and runs through Wednesday, October 15. On haLuakh haIvri, it happens on 23 Tishrei.

If you are in need or want to host or be hosted for a holiday meal and/or are looking for a synagogue service to attend, please comment below. Please do your due diligence about the other party: we take no responsibility if you are expecting to be dining with not an axe murderer, and end up cutting your brisket with your beshert’s favorite axe.

Last year’s posts:

You can find megathreads and other resources through that posts, or by searching in the sub.
