The festivities kicked off with High School students pitching in to build the sukkah, a traditional temporary structure used during Sukkot. Community members of all ages and religious backgrounds later joined the fun by gathering to decorate the sukkah while enjoying pizza and challah. 

During Interval on Wednesday and Thursday, guest speakers Rabbi Rebecca Keren Jeblonski and Rabbi Noam Marans sat with High Schoolers in the sukkah for lunch-and-learns. Later in the week, High School students invited First Program and 4th grade students to 89th Street to read Sammy Spider’s First Sukkot. Throughout the week, Middle School students also had lunch-and-learns in the sukkah. 

 

The HS JCC is incredibly grateful to Dustin Atlas, the Community Engagement & Belonging Office, the Administration, and the entire Dalton community for their enthusiastic support of this annual project.
