As Sukkot continues, we gather for a quieter, more intimate festival service celebrating gratitude, creation, and community. Together we’ll pray, sing, take the lulav and etrog, and spend time in and around the sukkah, continuing traditions that have connected Jewish communities for generations.

Whether you joined us on the first day of Sukkot or are celebrating with us for the first time, we hope you’ll experience the warmth and joy of this beautiful festival.

Join us as we continue our celebration of Sukkot, giving thanks for the blessings of creation, sharing in joyful worship, and gathering as a community in and around the sukkah.

What Makes This Celebration Special

Everyone Participates in the Lulav & Etrog
Everyone will have the opportunity to personally participate in the ancient Sukkot tradition of gently holding and waving the lulav and etrog in every direction as an expression of gratitude for creation and a reminder that God’s presence and blessings surround us wherever we turn.

Whether this is your first Sukkot or a tradition you’ve enjoyed for years, we’ll guide you through the ritual.

Community in the Sukkah
Following the service, we invite everyone to gather in our sukkah for conversation, a light meal and the simple joy of being together. Built with a roof of branches, the sukkah reminds us that life’s greatest blessings are often found in one another, around a shared table, and beneath the open sky.

Joyful Festival Worship
Sukkot is known as “the season of our rejoicing.” Through prayer, music, and shared celebration, we continue this joyful festival together.

Bringing the Tradition Home
Congregants are invited to order their own lulav and etrog sets through Ohavi Zedek as part of High Holiday registration. You’re also welcome to use one of the congregation’s communal sets during the service.

How to Attend:
High Holiday services are open to everyone. Services are free for Ohavi Zedek members, young adults under 30, and children. Tickets are required for other adult guests. Please register in advance. Everyone who registers will receive a confirmation email with access to our digital Machzor (High Holiday prayer book) and, where available, a link to our livestream.

New Here? Whether it’s your first High Holiday or your first visit to Ohavi Zedek, our What to Expect guide will help you feel at home.
