October 10, 2017 - 20 Tishrei 5778 Shemini Atzeret, Yizkor
The eighth day from the First of Sukkot is a solemn gathering, Shemini Atzeret, invoking prayers for rain in the new season, and Yizkor prayers for remembering the dead.
Even within the deepest darkness, there is a ray of light waiting to be lit; within the greatest challenge, there is a miracle waiting to be found; and within the greatest sorrow, there are memories of joy waiting to be grasped.
