Sukkot reminds us of our communal obligation to face outwards with open hearts to ease suffering and heal our fractured world. Join us in our Sukkah of Justice & Compassion for a night of heartfelt prayer, festive food, and music.
October 6 – Erev Sukkot: Sukkah of Justice and Compassion
5:15 p.m. Schmooze and Festival Meal for all ages (onsite)
6 p.m. October 7 Commemoration (onsite & online)
As the sun sets on October 6, we will gather at the intersection of sorrow and joy. On the second anniversary of the October 7 attacks, we will begin with a time of remembrance—holding space for grief and reflection. Then, as the holiday of Sukkot begins, we will gently turn toward celebration, inspired by a powerful tradition in Israel where Memorial Day flows directly into Independence Day—reminding us that even in mourning, we can choose to affirm life, resilience, and hope.
6 p.m. Family Program (onsite)
