Sukkot

Sukkot, Hebrew for "booths" or "huts," refers to the week-long Jewish festival of giving thanks for the fall harvest and  commemorates the 40 years of Jewish wandering in the desert after Sinai.

Each year at CRC, we erect and decorate a large wooden sukkah in front of our entrance. Evenings during Sukkot, our men's, women's, LGBT groups and Basic Judaism class host potluck dinners and wave the lulav and etrog.
