Sukkot in the community
Sukkot in Closter
On October 20, Temple Emanu-El of Closter’s religious school held its Sukkot celebration for children of all ages. Students enjoyed a hands-on learning experience with the lulav and etrog in the sukkah. Each grade had the opportunity to spend time in the sukkah to shake the lulav, smell the etrog, and have a festive snack. In addition to the rituals, the students decorated the sukkah with their own handmade crafts.

“It was beautiful to see people come together to experience the joy of Sukkot,” Shterna Kaminker said. “We can’t wait to celebrate at Simchat Torah with hakafot — dancing and rejoicing together!”
