Same Sukkah, Big Changes
Rabbi Nicole Guzik is a rabbi at Sinai Temple. She can be reached at her Facebook page at Rabbi Nicole Guzik.
Years ago, we inherited a beautiful sukkah from our good friends Cantor Arianne Brown and Rabbi Randall Brown. Next, we shared the sukkah with our dear colleague and neighbors Jessie Fruithandler and Rabbi Jason Fruithandler. Over the course of many years, new members of our family, congregants, students from Sinai Akiba Academy and Sinai Temple Religious School, staff members, children and adults occupied the sukkah. Our traditions expanded to include serving pumpkin pie at Sukkot dinner, hanging orange twinkle lights and using funky outdoor rugs to brighten up the sukkah floor.
