ADD A NAME TO THE CHUPPAH FOR SIMCHAT TORAH

The beautiful Chuppah that we use on Simchat Torah displays the names of our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Each year, we allow our Beth Aaron family the opportunity to add new names to the “ceiling” of the Chuppah.

If you would like to add the name of a child this year, please follow the instructions below to submit his/her name(s); please check your spelling! The cost is $1.50 per letter.

The deadline for the submission of names is August 15. This is a firm deadline!

The website also displays photos of the Chuppah as well as opportunities to dedicate a section of the Chuppah (interior and exterior valances, support pillars) in honor of, or memory of, a loved one. These sponsorships include the names of children, grand-children etc., without a limit and at no additional cost. The names of donors also will be displayed on a plaque in the shul lobby.

Sincerely,

Myron Chaitovsky

Pictures of the Chuppah

Each panel picture has a caption with the following information:

The name of the valence.
If it is the interior or exterior of the chuppah.
The name of the street outside the shul to which it is parallel.
The cost of the valance and whether is has been sold.

The four valances have exterior panels facing the congregants and interior panels surrounding the children when they stand under the chuppah to get their aliyah.

The longer exterior panels are embroidered with the Shabbat bracha said over a girl or boy. The shorter exterior panels have pesukim embroidered on them.

Four angels are embroidered on the inside of the valences: Gavr'iel, Rafa'el, Micha'el and Uri'el.

The four valences hang parallel to these locations:

Gavri'el, parallel to Grayson Place
Rafa'el, parallel to Palisade Avenue
Micha'el, parallel to Edgemont Place
Ur'iel, parallel to the Queen Anne Road

The panels with the name of the same angel are sewn together to create the valence for that side.
