Sukkat Shalom: During the festival of Sukkot, we spend our week eating (and sometimes sleeping!) in a sukkah. Jewish tradition often speaks about a sukkat shalom but what does it mean to have a sukkah of peace? Join Rabbi Amy Grossblatt Pessah as we explore this concept and delve into how we can work to create peaceful dwellings.
