Jewish Communal Leadership Program Sukkot Open House
October 16, 2024 - 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM ET
The Jewish Communal Leadership Program invites you to join JCLP for our annual Sukkot Open House in the SSW courtyard on Wednesday evening, October 16, 2024, from 5:00 - 6:30, with an informal welcome at 5:45 pm. All are welcome – no prior knowledge of Judaism or Jewish holidays required.
The annual harvest festival of Sukkot centers around the temporary structure of the sukkah where, traditionally, for eight days, Jews eat, gather, welcome guests, and reflect upon the richness of the natural world and the fragility of the human structures we build upon it. The laws of Sukkot mandate both hospitality and joy even in difficult times.
This year, at a time of great challenge on campus and beyond, please join us in building links of community and letting in the light. Together.
Seasonal hors d'oeuvres and refreshments will be served.

Join us for a discussion with Nikole Hannah-Jones, the Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of the 1619 Project and a staff writer at the New York Times Magazine.

The Social Justice Changemaker Lecture was established by a generous gift from Dr. Neil C. Hawkins and Annmarie F. Hawkins and the Hawkins Family. This annual lecture focuses on important global social justice issues including race and nationality, immigration and refugees, income inequality, gender identity and sexual orientation, education, health, and mental and physical disabilities.
