Bnai Israel Celebrates Sukkot

FLEISCHMANNS — Congregation B'nai Israel in Fleischmanns recently celebrated the week long Jewish festival holiday of Sukkot. 

This holiday commemorates the gathering of the harvest and the 40 years Israelites traveled in the desert once they were freed from slavery in Egypt. Sukkahs were temporary structures for shelter and eating.

On October 12 the synagogue had a community celebration of the holiday.

Thank you to the volunteers who made the construction of the sukkah possible.
