Jewish Center Open space
- Sponsored by:
- Hillel
Today is both the first day of Sukkot and the anniversary of one of the hardest days in recent Jewish memory. Stop by the Jewish Center (find us inside or in the Sukkah, depending on the weather) at any time to be in community, chat with Rabbi Danielle, eat some nourishing food, and shake the lulav and etrog. We’ll be doing a little Torah learning on holding joy and sorrow together if we get a critical mass around noon. Bring your lunch!
