On Friday, the JCC Sukkah was set up on the patio of Levin Hall. On Monday, high winds severely tested the impermanent structure. While our first Sukkah in our new home blew apart, our plans for Sukkot did not. Our programs have simply been moved a few hundred yards.

In yet another example of our community’s amazing collegial relationships, we were invited across the street to Bonai Shalom, whose Sukkah – nestled in the trees – survived the winds.

Thus, Friday’s Musical Happy Hour will be held at Bonai, as will Sunday’s Milk and Honey Farm program.

Our first happy hour, which takes place in Bonai’s Sukkah, is a free event featuring wine and song. No reservations required. Just join us from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm for live music performed by Beth Ornstein and the Coffee Quintet, and Judy Megibow. Meet friends and make new ones in one of our many upcoming social events. The temperatures are expected to be in the mid-70s! Never the less, be sure to bring a jacket.
