After five (very long) years, Sukkot returns to the SJC programming roster, stronger than ever! Come join the Circle in the sukkah for food, crafts and community!!

Join us at a local public park for a secular humanistic Sukkot celebration to ring in the fall, featuring sukkah decorating (with crafts handmade by our talented Mitzvah Secular Sunday School students), a secular humanistic lulav and etrog ritual, and of course, food! Madrikh Jeff Treistman will be leading the service and sharing the history of Sukkot.

As Sukkot at its core is a harvest festival in the vein of Thanksgiving, attendees are encouraged to bring food and/or non-alcoholic refreshments to share. Ingredients cards must be filled out for each dish, to accommodate those with dietary restrictions. New! SJC Ingredients Card (fillable version)
