A Sukkah for All

Sukkot is a holiday of hospitality, gratitude, and connection. We leave the comfort of our homes and gather together in a temporary dwelling, opening our doors and our hearts to others.

A sukkah reminds us of our shared dependence on the natural world and the many gifts that sustain us. It offers an opportunity to reflect on what it means to create a world where compassion and care extend beyond ourselves.

A Sukkah for All invites us to bring these values to the table through a shared vegan meal and community celebration.

Everyone Is Welcome

You do not need to be religious or a synagogue member to join us.

This gathering is genuinely open to everyone, including religious and secular Jews, people from different Jewish backgrounds, vegans, vegetarians, veg-friendly people, and anyone interested in Jewish tradition, compassionate living, or simply sharing a meal with a welcoming community.

Whether Sukkot is a familiar holiday for you or you’re encountering it for the first time, you are welcome in our sukkah.
