Join the Montana Jewish Project, Rabbi Sonja Pilz, and Congregation Beth Shalom for a Sukkot Celebration on October 12 from 1–3 PM in Helena on the Temple Emanu-El lawn. We’ll gather around a sukkah (a temporary outdoor shelter built for the holiday) to share Sukkot reflections, prayers, and songs.
If you can, please bring a chair and a snack to share. If you can, please consider volunteering!
Registration is required, so we know how many people to prepare for. We would also greatly appreciate volunteers, which folks can register for at the same link.
