The Jewish Heritage School at Congregation Habonim invites you to join them on Sunday, October 20th for their Pizza in the Hut Sukkot family celebration. There will be songs with Josh Skye Engel; activities including making edible sukkot and apple printing; and of course, pizza in the sukkah
We are also very fortunate to have Rivka Campbell joining us as a special guest speaker. Rivka, a Jewish woman of Jamaican descent, seeks to build community among Jews of Colour (a pan-ethnic term for Jewish people whose family origins are from African, Asian, or Latin American countries) while opening dialogue about cultural and ethnic diversity. She has spoken at many synagogues as well as at Western University, Bialik, and the JCC, just to name a few. It is sure to be great for all ages!
