Sukkahpaloozah – A Sukkot Event for the all ages
Sunday, September 19 | 12:00 pm | B’nai Jehudah

Join B’nai Jehudah as we celebrate Sukkot with our Sukkahpaloozah! There is something for everyone – enjoy food, inflatables, music and more at this all ages event. Bring your creativity and help us decorate the sukkah, test your bartending skills at our mixology booth where you can make cocktails or mocktails using mixers that represent the Etrog, the Seven Species of the Land of Israel, and the values and themes of Sukkot. Support the community by building a playhouse for a family in need through Habitat for Humanity or donate coats and jackets through our SukCOAT drive.
