Welcome to Sukkot at JCC of Central New Jersey!
Join us for a Joyous Celebration!
At JCC of Central New Jersey, we are excited to invite you to our annual Sukkot celebration! Sukkot is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the forty-year period during which the Israelites wandered in the desert, living in temporary shelters. It is a time of joy, gratitude, and community, and we have planned a variety of activities and events for all ages to enjoy!
Discover the Traditions and Significance of Sukkot
Sukkot holds deep cultural and religious significance within the Jewish faith. It is a time to remember and appreciate the challenges faced by our ancestors as they journeyed towards freedom. The holiday also celebrates the harvest season and offers an opportunity to express gratitude for the abundance of the earth.
Throughout Sukkot, we construct temporary outdoor structures called sukkahs, which are adorned with branches, fruits, and decorations. These sukkahs symbolize the shelters our ancestors lived in during their journey and serve as a reminder of our connection to nature and the world around us.
