Sukkot: Time of our Joy

Time to welcome guests, recall our ancestors’ journey in the wilderness and build a sukkah. We’ve gathered resources to help you deepen your connection to this joy-filled holiday and each other.

Sukkot begins the evening of Sept. 29 and runs through to Shmini Atzeret & Simchat Torah on Oct. 7-8.

Deeply rooted. Boldly relevant.

Reconstructing Judaism: the central organization of the groundbreaking, always-evolving Reconstructionist movement. We help build thriving Jewish communities, empower individuals to lead lives of deeper meaning and purpose, train rabbis who make a difference, and work to bring about a more just and sustainable world.
