Harvest Hike: Sukkot in the Laurentians

Have you ever wanted to celebrate Sukkot in the wilderness? On October 1, we invite you to join us with Rabbi Dini Lewittes for an afternoon of hiking, reflection, and dining among the Laurentian Mountains.

Otherwise known as the Jewish fall harvest festival, Sukkot is a time to appreciate the gifts of our natural world, especially in a time of intensifying climate crisis. In Rabbi Lewittes’ home, guests will be invited to take part in a guided mindfulness hike, spirited reflections, craft-based rituals, and lunch in the Sukkah overlooking beautiful Lake Manitou.

Tickets are $35 each plus tax. Each ticket includes lunch, hike, and materials for the craft activity. Click here to reserve your spot. Capacity is limited so early registration is encouraged.
