The Sukkot Family Festival at The
Shul of West Bloomfield on Oct. 16
was designed to bring the beauty
of Sukkot and Simchat Torah to life
for their JEMS students and their
families. It was also open to the
community because, why not? The
holidays are a joy, and The Shul
loves to share that.
Everyone had fun shaking the
lulav and making a special blessing

together in the sukkah while enjoy-
ing festive snacks such as cotton
candy and snow cones. The chil-
dren enjoyed making their edible
sukkah and sand candy Simchat
Torah flags while meeting new
friends.
Finally, David Brown’s fire jug-
gling show was enjoyed by all in the
stunning fall weather that topped
off the incredible morning.
