Sukkot and Simchat Torah celebrations at CBI

Sukkot is the weeklong harvest festival following the days of Awe. We eat (and even sleep) in a harvest booth at the synagogue or our own backyard. The festival culminates in Shemini-Atzeret and Simchat Torah, when we conclude the Torah and begin it anew. It’s a time of rejoicing, and we have fun activities nearly every day of the holiday!
