🍂 The Holidays Aren’t Over Yet
Sukkot is a joyful holiday that reminds us of our humble beginnings, the miraculous protection of God, and the importance of community and gratitude. As the fall air grows crisp and the leaves turn red and gold, we gather outdoors in the sukkah, praying, singing, and waving the lulav.
🌿 Sukkot Service & Anniversary of October 7th
Tuesday, October 7 • 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Celebrate Sukkot with morning services including Hallel (psalms of praise) and the waving of the lulav and etrog. This year, the first day of Sukkot also marks two years since October 7, 2023. We will commemorate this day in community with intention. Weather permitting, kiddush will follow in our community sukkah.
