Sukkot starts the evening of Monday, October 6.
The TBZ sukkah is open all Sukkot for anyone who wants to enjoy it. 
Please feel free to come, sit, and use it! This includes staying after services to eat meals (bring your own vegetarian/kosher) or stopping by at other times during the holiday, even if the synagogue is closed.
The entrance is along the walkway, to the left of the ground-floor entrance. There is a plug to turn on the lights, the outlet is on the bottom right side by the side door. Please make sure to always unplug the light when you leave. There are some programs planned during Sukkot in the sukkah, so please check the calendar to know when those are happening. We will leave a lulav and etrog set in the sukkah for those who would like to do the blessings during the week.

11:00am Sukkot Cooking Demo: Pumpkins & Squash and their Importance in Sephardi Cooking (in person)
Known by Sephardi and Mizrachi Jews as kalavasa, d’la’at, kadoo, and q’ar’a, pumpkin has been an integral part of Jewish cooking in these regions for hundreds of years. We will explore when pumpkin was introduced to the Sephardic and Middle Eastern Jewish kitchens, and how it is used in a variety of sweet and savory dishes, some of which are specifically meant for High Holiday meals, and others that can be made at any time. Join us for a cooking demonstration and tasting, featuring this wonderful seasonal, and Jewish ingredient!

Ariella believes that exploring the history and traditions of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Jewry can enrich the lives of Jews from around the globe, helping us feel more connected to our identity and to one another.
