The Joys of an Inclusive Sukkot

Sukkot is one of my favorite Jewish holidays. It has many special halachot (Jewish laws and rituals) that symbolize the unity of Am Israel (the people and nation of Israel) and the need to love and accept one another.

In today’s trying times, these messages of unity, inclusion, and belonging are more critical than ever.

I invite you to read my latest article, “The Joys of an Inclusive Sukkot,” in the Jewish Disability Inclusion News (thank you, Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer, for the opportunity) to learn more about this beautiful and joyful holiday.

And for all of you who celebrate, I wish you a wonderful and celebratory Sukkot!
