- Lunch-’n-Learn with R’ Ruttenberg
Home might be a place, a group of people, an activity, a state of mind. It could be your dorm, where you grew up, where you go over the summer, some combination of things, or none of the above. The holiday of Sukkot is a great time to meditate on the ways we create home—and the fragile, impermanent dwelling of the sukkah can actually help us do that in a lot of ways. Please join us for a yummy and lovely lunch and learn with Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg.
