Hosting LDS Neighbors in the Sukkah
Tuesday, October 22nd at 6:30 pm we will host our LDS neighbors. You may remember they invited our community to join them on July 4th for a pancake breakfast and flag ceremony. We will reciprocate during our Chag/festival during which we are directed to invite the stranger into our Sukkah. Rabbi Phil will explain a little about Sukkot, we will wave the 4 species, sing a few songs, and then enjoy cookies and non-alcoholic drinks together in our Sukkah.
