Why a Plant-Based Sukkot?

Sukkot is a holiday of abundance, gratitude, and connection to the earth. It invites us to think about our relationship with creation — how we harvest, how we eat, and how we share. By choosing a plant-based celebration, we honor Jewish values and model a path of compassion and sustainability.

Partners in Celebration

This event was made possible through partnership with Mandel JCC of Cleveland, Moishe Pod Cleveland – West Side, and B’nai Jeshurun Congregation. Together, we are creating a Sukkot experience that is joyful, meaningful, and inclusive. We welcome community institutions to join as partners in this celebration of Jewish life, values, and togetherness.
