Families, couples, and individuals of multiple faith backgrounds, generations, and heritage are invited to experience Sukkot — the Jewish harvest festival of thanksgiving — with a celebration of gratitude under the Third Space Sukkah, a temporary, outdoor shelter that brings us closer to the wonders of nature.
Grandparents, parents, children, and friends are encouraged to come together for two hours of joy. We will share a vegetarian potluck dinner, add decorations and messages of gratitude in the Third Space Sukkah, learn about the traditional practice of blessing the Four Species, and sing songs of thanksgiving under the stars. Bring a vegetarian dish, bring people you love, and celebrate what is good at this harvest season.
This gathering is facilitated by Lisa Akchin and Shoshana Davidoff-Gore. Lisa is a Jewish Connection Network Community Connector, a former synagogue president, and the Jewish grandmother of four Catholic grandchildren. She offers Jewish hospitality and connection for intergenerational, multi-faith families through peer relationships, social gatherings, and Jewish experiences. Born and raised in Baltimore City, Shoshana (she/her) believes that music is a powerful tool for community building. A musician and educator with a background in youth development and interfaith organizing, she is excited to join this event in her capacity as a songleader and experience the joy of making music together.
In partnership with the Community Connector program of the Macks Jewish Connection Network.
The Grateful Gathering Under the Sukkah potluck is free to attend. Registration in advance is strongly encouraged.
