Sukkot

Sukkot Service, Shakshuka in the Sukkah Dinner and Guest Speakers October 7th Survivors Jacqui and Yaron Vital

Friday, October 18
6:00 pm    Sukkot Shabbat Service
7:00 pm    Shakshuka in the Sukkah Dinner
7:45 pm    Presentation by Jacqui and Yaron Vital
9:00 pm    Dessert Oneg

We look forward to balancing the bitter with the sweet in this year’s Sukkot observance.  Join us as we celebrate Shabbat under the stars in our congregation’s sukkah in the Klein Courtyard.  We will then enjoy an Israeli themed shakshuka dinner, either indoors or in the sukkah itself.

Following dinner, we will be joined by October 7th survivors Jacqui and Yaron Vital, visiting from Israel.  Jacqui and Yaron are cousins of Rabbi Jaffe’s wife, Yael.  They lost their daughter, Adi, who was murdered in Kibbutz Holit on October 7th.  Adi’s infant children were abducted by Hamas but later retrieved and Yaron spent October 7th hiding from terrorists as they rampaged through the kibbutz.  Jacqui and Yaron have been featured on CNN, The New York Post and other media outlets, and met with our congregation’s February solidarity mission.  As last year’s Sukkot holiday ended tragically in the Simchat Torah attacks, we welcome Jacqui and Yaron to share their harrowing tale, memorialize their daughter, and keep the legacy of those lost on October 7th alive.  Please join us for any part or all of the evening.
