COMMUNITY SUKKAH OPEN HOUSE
Saturday October 19th @ 3:30-5:30pm
With Sukkot coming up, many of us will find ourselves moving outdoors into our sukkot -- our temporary structures that remind us of our vulnerability and our openness. Many of us have had interactions this past year with our neighborhood -- and this could be an opportunity for us to reach out and invite our neighbors into our sukkot as a gesture that might be appreciated and welcomed. We are planning a “Community Sukkah Open House.”
You can view the "Dear Neighbor" flyer by clicking here :
