Join Jewish Vegan Life for a special Cleveland Tikkun Circle as we gather to celebrate Sukkot through compassion, community, Jewish connection, and plant-based food.

Sukkot invites us to step outside our everyday routines and reconnect with community, the natural world, and the values that guide us. Together, we’ll gather around the sukkah for Jewish learning, reflection, conversation, and a shared vegan potluck.

Sunday, September 27, 2026
5:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Shaker Heights, OH

Location details will be provided to registered participants.

Everyone is Welcome

You do not need to be religious or vegan to participate. This gathering is open to everyone, including religious and secular Jews, vegans, vegetarians, and anyone interested in exploring Jewish values, compassion, and community.

What to Expect

🛖 Sukkot gathering and ceremony
📖 Jewish learning and reflection
🥗 Shared vegan potluck
🌿 Meaningful conversation and connection

We’ll gather around the sukkah, share food, connect with one another, and explore what it means to cultivate compassion in our relationships with animals, people, and the world around us.

Please bring a vegan dish to share if you are able. Vegan means no animal products, including meat, dairy, fish, eggs, or honey. Only what grows from the earth 🙂
