Sukkah:ATL Atlanta's Only Public Sukkah -- Come Join Us!
Posted by

Atlanta-based Jewish Food Alliance, along with over a dozen community partners, erected its second annual public-space sukkah in Oakhurst Community Garden on Sunday, October 9th. When sukkot begins on Wednesday, October 12th, Sukkah: ATL will host opportunities for worship, community gathering, learning, and cultural experiences.
The construction of the sukkah is led by architects from Design Plus Collective, who designed the “Seen by Unseen” Sukkah for New York's Sukkah City competition last Fall.
Sukkah: ATL is Atlanta's only public-space sukkah, and is built and programmed as a community cooperative effort, led by Atlanta-based Jewish Food Alliance.
Programs open to the public during the week of Sukkot include:
- Wednesday, October 12th: Chanting Service with Cantor Gayanne Guerin Weiss at 6:30 PM
- Friday, October 14th: Family Friendly Kabbalat Shabbat, Potluck Picnic, and Jam Session with Congregation Bet Haverim 6:30 PM
- Saturday, October 15th: Havdallah and Sukkot Sleepover with Adamah Adventures 7:30 PM
- Monday, October 17: Shake Your Lulav Dance Party! with Marcus Jewish Community Center, PJ Library, Shalom Baby and Pathways
- Tuesday, October 18: Sukkot Baking Competition with Dr. Sweets Cake Emporium 6:00 PM

Why I AM Giving Money to the Atlanta Jewish Federation This Year
Posted by
Jennie
... and more than doubled my 2010 contribution.
My old blog post about not giving money to the Atlanta Jewish Federation (in 2011) and its criticisms, made a much bigger wave than expected. Way too often when mentioning the blog post people nod their heads in recognition. That's why I'm publicly announcing my choice to give in 2012.
Why am I giving to the 2012 campaign?
I'm hopeful. Atlanta has a new Federation President, Michael P. Horowitz, from Detroit. No one seems to know much about him and his affinities. However, my dollars are a hopeful vote for progress.
Join me in donating (or increasing your donation) and speak up for progress: continued movement toward an open, transparent, authentic, inclusive, efficient, highly-functional and unified Jewish community in Atlanta, GA.
Looking forward to a growth-filled 5772,
Shana Tova,
