Temple Tikvah Celebrates Sukkot

welcomed PJ Library families into its sukkah to celebrate the Jewish fall festival of Sukkot on Oct. 16.

The tradition of Sukkot is to invite people, friends and strangers to share meals in the sukkah and to make friends.  Parents and children had a wonderful time during this free program singing along with Rabbi Sheinberg and Cantor Bonne, shaking the lulav and etrog, listening to story time and decorating their very own “Etrog Man” cookie on a stick. 

These events are part of the PJ Library program which Temple Tikvah is pleased to bring  to the communities of Western Nassau and Eastern Queens.  The PJ Library program supports young families by sending books and music with Jewish content free of charge on a monthly basis to children from age six months to eight years.  Created by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, The PJ Library is a national program implemented in local communities.  For further information about our PJ Library programs please check our website at templetikvah.org.
