Join Chochmat HaLev's new Rabbi, SaraLeya Schley, and our growing community! Connect to the Land, your Food, and the Source... Sukkot
is a time to celebrate our reliance on the continuing miracles of life
(growth, eating food) and death (harvesting food). By standing at the
interface of those two miracles, this harvest festival helps us to
acknowledge (and revel in) the ephemeral nature of all things.
Come celebrate the silence and then fill it with songs and laughter...

teaching, song, or instrument to play. Four prepared meals will be included in the cost. Families
are very encouraged to come, kids are free; however, the Farm has a "no
pet" policy, for the safety of your furry friends as well as for the
farm animals.
As with any Chochmat HaLev ritual observance, music and singing will be on tap. Bring your music, your voice, and any other instruments.
Wondering what else to bring? Click here. Sukkot enlivens our senses: to the taste of fresh foods, to the smell of the fields, to the sight of the harvest moon, and to the touch of the earth. And, by exposing us to the fleeting nature of all our constructions, Sukkot opens the possibility of transcending our senses and "observations" and knowing the formlessness from which all life springs.     |
