Sukkot
Sukkot is a weird and wonderful holiday involving: the building of temporary plywood huts; the shaking of various branches; and general hanging out in aforementioned huts while sometimes shaking aforementioned branches. And it’s a whole week long!
This year, Sukkot is from Friday, September 29th to Friday, October 6th.
It’s apparently a mitzvah just to spend time eating and drinking in the Sukkah. This might be the easiest mitzvah in all of Judaism, so start 5784 on the right foot and come on out to our Sukkah!
All Sukkot events are free and open to all.
PLEASE REGISTER BEFORE COMING TO THE SUKKAH.
There are links below to register for each event.
