JCOGS COMMUNITY
Please come enjoy the JCOGS Sukkah this week, whether bringing a meal or just sitting and celebrating the holiday. A lulav and etrog are always available there.
Join JCOGS members and the wider community in Rabbi David and Alison’s home sukkah. Feel free to bring any friends along and a vegetarian side dish to share. Please RSVP for directions. In the spirit of JCOGS commitment to Tikkun Olam: Sukkot invites us to reflect on what it means to live in fragile, temporary homes - to journey, to hope, find joy and to depend on the compassion of others. Immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees live this reality. If you are inspired and able please consider making a monetary donation in person at this event or online to the Vermont Immigration Legal Defense Fund.
