he Isaac Agree Downtown
Synagogue has been awarded a
$100,000 grant from the William
Davidson Foundation for Sukkah x
Detroit. Throughout the last week of
September, as part of Detroit’s Month
of Design, Sukkah x Detroit will cel-
ebrate the Jewish harvest festival of
Sukkot in Detroit’s Capitol Park with a
display of five to seven sukkahs select-
ed through the largest international
design competition in Detroit’s recent
history.
The competition, which attracted 78
applications from 14 countries, is mod-
eled after New York’s 2010 Sukkah City,
and adds educational and agricultural
elements.
Since biblical times, the sukkah — a
temporary structure giving thanks for
the fall harvest and commemorating
the exodus from Egypt — has served as
the centerpiece of the eight-day holi-
day of Sukkot.
From Sept. 23-30, Capitol Park
will be transformed into an open-air
marketplace featuring produce, food
products, crafts and Jewish educational
events interspersed amongst the suk-
kahs, showcasing Detroit’s design,
urban agriculture and Jewish commu-
nities on a national and international
stage.
According to Jodee Fishman Raines,
president of the Isaac Agree Downtown
Synagogue, “The city of Detroit is the
only UNESCO City of Design in the
United States. It is also home to more
than 1,300 urban farms and a growing
number of Jewish organizations and
residents. It was important to design
Sukkah x Detroit as a highly collab-
orative endeavor to incorporate all
of these elements to help explore the
relevancy of an ancient ritual — the
building of a sukkah — in a diverse
urban environment.”
While Sukkah x Detroit will intro-
duce non-Jews to Jewish culture, it will
also help Jews reconnect with the holi-
day and find new meaning in its rituals.
Sukkah x Detroit partners include
the AIA Detroit Chapter, ChabaD,
Cohn-Haddow Center for Judaic
Studies, Design Core Detroit, Eastern
Market, Hazon, Hillel of Metro Detroit,
Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue,
the Jewish Federation’s NEXTGen and
