Sukkot invites us into a time of embracing vulnerability and connection. As we build our temporary shelters, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the beauty of community. It’s a moment to step out of the comfort of our permanent spaces and open ourselves to the abundance of the present. Using the Jewish Studio Process – a unique methodology combining art therapy practices with a reimagined approach to Jewish learning and spirituality – we’ll explore the themes of impermanence and renewal, drawing on creativity to deepen our connection to the earth, to each other, and to the sacred world around us.

This session is co-sponsored by OneTable! Through peer-led Shabbat dinners and their signature digital platform, they make community accessible, inclusive, and meaningful for all.

This program is offered free of charge and will take place on Zoom with closed captions.
