Get your 5777 off to a great start and join us for our annual tradition of building two sukkot on Vilna Shul’s recently renovated front patio as part of the annual Jewish celebration of the fall harvest. Fun, new things in an old, sacred space- that’s how we do things.
The fun starts at 1:00pm when we raise the supports, hoist up the walls, and string up the symbols of the season to get the shul ready for our annual Shabbat in the Sukkah on Friday, October 21st.
Music, food, drink, power tools– everything you need to raise a four-walled, open-aired tent in the city.
See you there!

More about sukkot and Sukkot!
A “sukkah” (plural: sukkot) is the name of the temporary open-aired, thatch-roofed hut that is built for the observance of the week-long festival of Sukkot. The holiday commemorates the experience of the Israelites wandering in the wilderness after being freed from slavery in Egypt. Traditionally Jews eat, sleep, and generally live in the sukkah for the duration of the holiday.
