*Cultural Events Credit!
The Jewish holiday of Sukkot (literally, 'booths' or 'shelters')
celebrates the harvest. In this lecture-explanatory ritual, we will explain a little about the festival's source and meaning. We also will demonstrate the brief ceremony for the holiday/ People attending the event will be invited to participate in decorating a wooden frame commemorating the shelters used for sleeping when harvesting crops in ancient Israel, and all are welcome to share refreshments in the sukkah as part of the celebration.
