“Why Do Israelis Need Sukkot After October 7?” Lecture and Open Conversation with Leonid Feldman.
Lecture and open discussion about the meaning of Sukkot after October 7 — September 24 at 19:00 at Dacha TLV, Tel Aviv.
One of the central ideas of Sukkot is to make us feel vulnerable, without any certainty about tomorrow. We leave our solid homes for a hut with a leaky roof and find ourselves alone beneath the sky.
But didn’t we experience this on October 7?
That is what we will discuss: what a holiday thousands of years old can say to people who have learned the price of vulnerability firsthand—and whether we need it differently now.
This is part of our monthly series of conversations at Dacha TLV about Jewish history, tradition, and ideas that continue to influence our lives. The format is lively: not a one-way lecture, but a conversation. You can ask questions, argue, and disagree. All over a glass of wine, in a relaxed, home-like atmosphere.
The meeting will be led by Leonid Feldman, the first immigrant from the former Soviet Union to become a Conservative rabbi in the United States. He served for many years in a congregation in Palm Beach, Florida, and recently made aliyah.
Date and time: Thursday, September 24, 7:00 PM
Location: Dacha TLV, 1 HaGalil Street, Tel Aviv
For ages 18–35
Participation is by advance registration only. Please register in advance.
