On The Town: Sizzlin ‘n’ the Sukkah in Bradenton

BRADENTON, Fla. — The Chabad of Bradenton & Lakewood Ranch is inviting everyone to come celebrate the holiday of Sukkot with them.

Sukkot is a week-long Jewish harvest festival, celebrating G-d’s protection during the Exodus from Egypt. As part of the holiday, Jews will dwell in a temporary structure called a sukkah, eating and celebrating.

“The part that we focus on is the unity among the Jewish people,” Rabbi Mendy Buckiet said. Buckiet is a Rabbi at the Chabad of Bradenton & Lakewood Ranch.

Buckiet is inviting everyone to Sizzlin ‘n’ the Sukkah on Sunday. As part of the event, there will be good food, fun events and religious activities.

“Try to bring as many people together as possible,” Buckiet told Spectrum Bay News 9. “That’s the only way to truly connect with G-d, only through unity, only through kindness, only through love.”
