Sukkot!

Temple B'nai Jeshurun / Events, Families, Worship /

We plan to hold an outdoor in-person Erev Sukkot Shabbat service at the Temple this Friday, October 2 at 6:00pm. We will open both sides of the Sukkah to allow people to walk through the Sukkah, one family at a time, so that they can say the blessings and wave the Lulav and Etrog in celebration of the holiday.

For the service, please bring your own chairs and / or blankets.

Masks will be required.

If weather is bad, we will be online, but so far it is looking good. Please note we will also be streaming this service via Zoom.
