It’s a Sukkah Extravaganza!

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Music, spirituality all under one leaf roof.

Sukkot is a time of joy. Plain and simple unbridled celebration. It’s a time when we have the power to uncover the inherent simcha (joy) within each of our souls. We celebrate our lives and all its potential. We sing and dance for all the revelations we experienced on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. We begin the year with a bang — with a skip and a flourish, confident that we can take on life and face any challenges ahead.

Come celebrate Sukkot in its full glory. Join Rabbis Greg Wall and Simon Jacobson as they inspire us with words, song and music. Let’s talk and sing together — and discover new dimensions. All are welcome.
