SUMMARY:Interfaith Sukkot Shabbat Dinner to Honor the Work of Harbor Homes
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid talk\nDinner is in person only\nPlease register here\n&n
 bsp\;\n\nThe Jewish holiday of Sukkot is a harvest festival known as the F
 east of Tabernacles\, or of Booths\, one of three pilgrimage festivals in 
 the Torah (Hebrew Bible). Sukkot in Hebrew is the plural of sukkah\, a tem
 porary structure that the ancient Israelites were instructed to build as a
  reminder of how people lived\, and—vulnerable in the wilderness after t
 he exodus from Egypt—were sustained by God’s graciousness and lovingki
 ndness. The practice of building a sukkah remains a widespread custom to t
 his day.\n\nA central feature of the sukkah is its roof\, whose covering i
 s made of branches and other organic materials that open to the sky\, such
  that one can see the stars. Exposed to the elements\, we are called to lo
 ok beyond ourselves\, recognizing the fragility and impermanence of our li
 ves. And we invite others to join us in celebration: in the sukkah we stud
 y\, pray\, share meals and offer gratitude.\n\nAs we gather in our sukkot 
 this year\, we can remember all who are unhoused and on the move\, living 
 lives of uncertainty\, due to poverty\, migration\, war\, natural disaster
 s\, and the climate crisis. Here on Martha's Vineyard\, we are not immune 
 to these global dynamics. Such vulnerability is the experience of service 
 workers who cannot find affordable\, year-round rentals and of new arrival
 s from Brazil\, Venezuela\, and Haiti who have made their way to Massachus
 etts and even to our Island.\n\nOn Friday\, October 18th at 5:30pm\, the M
 V Hebrew Center invites the community for an interfaith dinner in our sukk
 ah\, to honor the work of Harbor Homes in providing shelter\, food and oth
 er necessities to those in need. Let us gather in prayer and renew our com
 mitment to the most vulnerable among us.
