Sukkot is the holiday about everything. The joyful frivolity of the end of the harvest season; the only time Torah was read out loud: the bloodiest days for the Cohanim at the Temple altar: a bloody rebellion between Jewish groups; standing up against the forces of nature and our vulnerability to nature. It was given a meaning with regard to the Exodus and it has opportunities for suburban Jewish life.
Join us for our Sukkot experience in the next incarnation of the Slutsky sukkah.

If Sukkot is about everything, Shmini Atzeret is about nothing. The rabbis have long debated whether it is even a distinct holiday. This year, it marks the time of our mourning one year after the October 7 brutality and all the devastation and loss it has caused. It’s appropriate that we read the Torah portion from Deuteronomy which really sets the agenda for the time for the next seasons. And it is fitting that we have the Yiskor experience.
Join us for a meaningful experience.

It’s often said that Torah gives us a lens for experiencing ourselves and the world. But Torah can be looked at through a number of lenses. Rabbi Elan Babchuck will be with us on Zoom to consider the ways and challenges of reading Torah with different perspectives.
We’ll talk Torah and go from the direction of Moses to the creation of a new world.
