SING UNDER THE STARS (THE BENCH: SUKKOT EDITION)
TUES, OCT 5 // 7PM
Sing Under the Stars
The Bench goes virtual, but never loses soul. Come sing together on zoom. We can see each other, but will need to press mute this time due to the pesky ‘lag’ in videoconferencing. Please compensate by singing super loud in your home. Really really loud. *And if anyone in the tech industry can hear us, please figure out how to eradicate the ‘lag’ so that we don’t have to press mute next time!
SUKKOT FAMILY HAVDALLAH
SAT, OCT 3 // 7 PM

PARENT USHPIZIN
TUES, OCT 6th // 8pm
Sukkot is a holiday of welcoming special guests, “ushpizin.” This year, let’s try hosting each other, after bedtime. Bring a drink & a nosh and gather to learn more about this mystical tradition & share stories about the guests we wish were with us this year.
SUKKOT JUSTICE
