Sukkot Kickoff Potluck
Join us as we kickoff Sukkot with a Dairy Potluck! Please bring a dairy or parve dish and dessert to share.
Progressive Dinner / Chili Cook-Off in the "Sukkot"-de-sac
Celebrate the joy of the season with a fun and festive evening as we dine our way through the "Sukkot"-de-sac! We’ll begin with appetizers at the Shoenwalds, enjoy the Chili Cook-Off at the Reagans, and finish with dessert at the Joneses—with heartfelt thanks to the Turners for their collaboration and contribution.
Sukkot reminds us to open our homes, our hearts, and tonight, our recipe books. This progressive dinner is a wonderful opportunity to share delicious food, warm company, and the spirit of the holiday as we move from sukkah to sukkah. As we gather under the stars, we celebrate tradition in a way that’s uniquely ours: with simmering pots of chili, shared laughter, and the joy of being together. Whether you’re a longtime neighbor or visiting for the first time, we can’t wait to celebrate together!
Please RSVP to reserve your spot, and get ready for an evening full of flavors, friendship, and festive fun. A quick reminder: all chili and side dishes should be dairy or parve—no meat, please!
Chag Sameach!
Registration is required no later than Sunday September 28!
Sukkot with Shalom
Sukkot is z’man simchateinu, the time of rejoicing, and we are excited to gather once again as the family of Shalom Macon to do just that.
From the beginning, God set apart His appointed times, and three of them—the pilgrimage festivals of Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot—were meant to bring His people together in one place. While we may not be making the journey to Jerusalem, there is still something deeply sacred about God’s people gathering as one to rejoice in His presence and celebrate His goodness. Last year, we set a vision to create a space where our Shalom family could come together for these very moments. By God’s blessing, that vision has become reality. This year we have already shared a Passover Seder and Shavuot with Shalom, and now we are thrilled to welcome everyone back for Sukkot.
Sukkot with Shalom offers plenty of opportunity for worship, prayer, and celebration before the Lord. There will also be plenty of time for community, renewing old friendships and building new ones, as Shalomies gather from near and far to be refreshed, encouraged, and sent out with gratitude and expectation for the year ahead.
These moments only happen a few times a year, and every time we have come together they have been unforgettable. If you have been waiting for the right time to join us in person, this is it. Don’t miss the joy, the friendships, and the memories God is writing here.
We look forward to welcoming you home to Shalom Macon for Sukkot with Shalom.
Maker's Market
We’re thrilled to invite you, our local artisans, crafters, and makers to be part of our Annual Sukkot Maker’s Market at Shalom Macon Sunday, October 12th at 12:00pm! This vibrant community event is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your handmade creations and connect with fellow artisans and shoppers in a festive Sukkot atmosphere.
Not only will you be sharing your talent with the community, but all proceeds from the market will benefit a new playground for our younger children — a cause that will directly impact our future generations.

-Jewelry
-Jams & Jellies
-Plants & Produce
-Essential Oils
-Wood working
-Knitted / Crocheted goods
-Art
-Baked goods
-and MUCH more
Please bring your contributions pre-priced to the Shalom Macon pavilion by 10:00am on October 12 so we’ll be ready for shoppers in time, or they can be mailed to Shalom Macon Attn: Linda Plowden ahead of time for our Shalomies a little further away. We will accept cash, checks and credit cards.

Mussar: the Middah of Awareness
Please read the articles on https://www.rivertonshul.org/awareness to understand the character trait of Awareness.
I will be publishing the articles in the Mussar space for a progressive reading throughout the two weeks.
What were the "seeds" that started to erode your awareness today?
Think of several good things that happened today. What was your reaction to them in contrast to your moments of challenge?
If you lost you awareness today, is this something that you have lost your awareness over previously?
If you were on the verge of losing your awareness but didn't, what did you employ that worked?
Were you able to use prayer or meditation to suffer through the circumstances?
If you lost your awareness today, describe how it happened.
What causes you to lose awareness most often?
The best way to define Mussar biblically is the good advice that God gives:
"You be holy, because I am holy"
Holiness doesn't feel intuitive to who we are, but the path of Mussar guides and helps us by giving us a map to the inner real you. Mussar "offers us a body of practices we can employ to transform our inner ways." (Everyday Holiness pg 17)
We will have a wonderful time, connecting to Hashem as we draw closer to Him in the pursuit of holiness.
Blessing to you all.
