Religious School Families: Creating Community in the Sukkah
Tuesday, October 7 ♦ 5:30 PM
Religious School Families come together for a pasta dinner and some fun in the Sukkah. There is NO religious school on this day so join us at 5:30 for dinner. We will provide the pasta. Please bring a side dish or a dessert to share if you are able.
After dinner we will have an opportunity to shake the lulav and etrog and create some crafty sukkah decorations. This is our chance to come together as a diverse and welcoming community.
