It’s a Sukkah

Sukkot is the Jewish time of remembrance, recalling  when the Israelites wandered through the desert.  A sukkah represents the structures that were slept in and can be constructed of almost anything for the walls. More specifically, the roof must be made of plants that are no longer in the ground, the purpose being that the stars should be able to be seen at night. This year, Sukkot will end on the evening of Sunday, Spetember 30th.

Visit the eastern green space next to Sabin House to respectfully consider the structure there.  Have questions? connect with Hillel on Friday at 5:30 at Sabin House Center for Spiritual and Religious Life to talk more.
