Where every Jew is family! Come join our ever-growing family in Southern Saratoga County.
As Sukkot approaches (tonight!!), we’re excited to gather once again beneath the sukkah’s leafy branches—a space that reminds us of the beauty of unity, belonging, and shared joy.
The two central mitzvot of Sukkot—the sukkah and the Four Kinds—both carry the one central theme: Jewish unity.
The sukkah is more than an outdoor hut. It’s a space where everyone belongs equally, no matter their background or status. The Talmud even teaches, “All Israel is worthy to sit in one sukkah.” Can you picture it? It’s a vision of inclusion and togetherness, where the walls embrace us all as one family.
The Four Kinds also represent every Jew. Each is different in form, taste, or fragrance, yet each is indispensable. Only when bound together can the mitzvah be fulfilled. The same applies to us, the Jewish people. Strength as a people is not in being the same, but in standing side by side, each contributing what the other lacks.
This is why the Four Kinds are brought into the sukkah. One mitzvah highlights our shared soul; the other highlights our diversity and interdependence. Together they teach that true unity means embracing what makes us alike but also cherishing what makes us different.
As we sit in the sukkah this year, may we feel the bonds of unity around us and the beauty of our diversity within it, and may it inspire a deeper sense of Ahavat Yisrael, love for every Jew.
We can’t wait to celebrate Sukkot with you and your family!
Chag sameach!
