followed by Chol Hamoed (Intermediate Days), which
are hybrid, in that they have aspects of both holidays and
regular week days.
When eating in the Sukkah, we invite seven
Ushpizin or guests, essential leaders of the Jewish
people: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron
and King David who each represents one of the seven
spiritual attributes needed to perfect our souls in service
of the Creator.
Every day of Sukkot, with the exception of
Shabbat, when they are not touched, one blessing is
recited over the four species - the Etrog, Lulav, Hadasim
and Aravot. The first time we take them on the holiday,
we also recite Shehechiyanu. On the last of the
intermediate days, known as Hoshanah Rabbah, we make
seven circuits around the Bimah, after which willows are
beaten on the floor to symbolize the end of the high
holiday period of judgement.
Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah October 4-6 At
Sukkots end, Jews immediately celebrate the holidays of
Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah. The Midrash, or
Bible commentary, teaches that on Sukkot we are
concerned with all humanity because in the Temple we
offered 70 sacrifices during Sukkot, corresponding to the
70 nations of the world. However, Shemini Atzeret and
Simchat Torah is a holiday just for the Almighty and the
Jewish people. The holidays remind us that material
needs and wants are fleeting illusions; the realm of the
spirit is the only true and permanent domain. We recite
the Yizkor, memorial prayer, during Shemini Atzeret to
remember those who have gone before us and set out
paths for us to follow. On Simchat Torah, Jews dance
and rejoice with their entire being as we conclude the
reading of the Torah, and then, immediately begin
reading the Torah once again. In spite of tremendous
adversity, oppression and exile, we have been promised
that the Torah will always guard and protect us. Even if
all else is taken away from the Jewish people, the Torah
will always remain.
A Little Bit About Kesser Maariv
Welcome to Kesser Maariv. Our full name is Beth
Hamedrosh Hagodol Kesser Maariv Anshe Luknik. We
have a long name reflective of our long history. Our first
minyan took place in Chicago in 1865, and the Beth
Hamedrosh Hagodol officially opened in 1867 in downtown
Chicago. Eventually the Shul moved to the West Side, and
we have several congregants who celebrated their Bar
Mitzvah at that site. After several mergers, in the 1950s

BHH moved to East Rogers Park when it merged with

Kesser Maariv. Due to shifting demographics, Kesser
Maariv sold their building in East Rogers Park in 1989,
determined to continue in a new neighborhood. In the
following years, High Holiday services were held in West
Rogers Park.
In 1993, we held High Holiday services in Skokie, and we
were able to purchase our current property in Skokie.
Regular minyanim began in an existing farmhouse on
December 31, 1993. In autumn 1999 the first phase of our
building was completed, consisting of the Social Hall and
kitchens. The second phase of the Main Sanctuary and Bais
Midrash were completed in 2004.
Leadership
Rabbi Louis Lazovsky has been Rabbi of Kesser Maariv
since 1984, when he succeeded Rabbi Zev Wein, who
retired. Rabbi Lazovsky has served the Jewish community
in many capacities for over 35 years, including leading
educational programs and organizations to benefit
immigrants and the underprivileged.
In January 2011 the Board of Directors appointed Rabbi
Ben Zion Lazovsky to serve as Associate Rabbi in addition
to serving as Executive Director.
Our Davening
For the High Holidays, we use the ArtScroll Machzor.
Thanks to the generosity of Bob & Sheryl Greenstein, we
have many Machzorim available for use.
We have a live auction of aliyas on Rosh Hashana, Yom
Kippur and Simchas Torah. This practice is mentioned in
the Shulchan Aruch, the Code of Jewish Law. The auction
is conducted immediately prior to taking out the Torah.
Our Chazzanim are Dr. Edward Kaplan and Rabbi Dr.
Pinchas Eisenbach who have been leading our High Holiday
Services since 1994. Rabbi Ben Zion Lazovsky has blown
the Shofar for many years and also serves as Chazzan.
Rabbi Eli Lazovsky reads the Torah.
Yizkor Appeal
There is an ancient custom, mentioned in the Talmud, that
even those who have passed away need atonement. How
can those souls, who are no longer on this earth, achieve
atonement? The Talmud says that charity should be given
on their behalf. Accordingly, Kesser Maariv has a live
Yizkor Appeal. If you would like to have your pledge
announced at the beginning of the appeal, please contact
Rabbi Ben Zion before Yom Tov and make your pledge
before Yom Tov. For those who would like to make a
private pledge, see Rabbis Ben Zion or Eli to make a matan
bseser.
