In September, our 5th grade Religious School children were challenged to re-imagine the ancient structure known as the Sukkah; built during the Jewish harvest of Sukkot since biblical times. The learners have worked for the past six weeks in chevruta (small groups) to create innovative model Sukkot based on the Jewish values (Hachnasaht Orchim – Welcoming Guests, Chesed – Kindness, Emunah – Faith, Bal Taschit – Do Not Destroy, etc.) that they've studied at CSZ. Check out the beautiful Sukkot that they've crafted. These wonderful miniatures will be on display in the CSZ lobby through Simchat Torah.
Disco Sukkah (Top Left): ROCKIN’ 80’S DISCO SUKKAH
Our Sukkah, the rockin’ 80’s disco Sukkah is more than a fun party, it has meaning. It shows great acts of (Bruchim HaBaim and Kehillah) welcoming and community. Our Sukkah is welcoming because it’s colorful, fun and you’re under the stars. Our Sukkah is for the community because you get to party with your friends and family, to have fun under a structure similar to the Sukkot the Israelites lived in. The top is made of straw and vine and we have 3 walls so our Sukkah is kosher. This is our rockin’ 80’s Disco Sukkah and I hope you have a rockin’ time. Disco Sukkah was created by: Noah Michelson, Ryan Nakisher and Noah Kam
The Camp Hebrew Sukkah (Bottom Right)
The Jewish value of Camp Hebrew is Bal Taschi (Do Not Destroy). Bal Taschit means: to take care of the environment and our community. The base and roof of our Sukkah are made out of all organic materials. Being in camp makes us feel happy, part of a community, and make life long memories for us and we hope that everyone who would enter our Sukkah would feel happy, welcomed, and love the great outdoors!

Lego Sukkah (Bottom Left)
Our Sukkah is called the Lego Sukkah, and our Sukkah represents Hachasat Orchim (welcoming guests). Here are some reasons why it represents Hachnasat Orchim. One reason is because it is very colorful. Another reason is because it is a place for Jewish people to be happy!!! The last reason is because it awakes your spirit and brings you closer to the Community.Thank you for taking the time to read about our Sukkah, The Lego Sukkah.

Harvest Sukkah (Top Center)
Our Sukkah is the Harvest Sukkah. Our Sukkah is made out of natural findings. It is also made of natural resources. Our Sukkah represents Bal Tashchit (Do Not Destroy) which represents saving our environment. Why our Sukkah represents the environment is because mostly everything is made out of organics or natural resources. It also represents Emunah (Faith) because people should feel faith in God when you walk in our Sukkah. Created by: Abby Kendal, Anna Roth, Lindsey Wolf, and Jordyn Wolf
Neon Sukkah (Bottem Center)
Our Sukkah is the Neon Sukkah. The roof is made of natural resources, including leaves and sticks. The main part of the Sukkah is made of glitter and colorful paper. Our Jewish value is Hachnasat Orchim, meaning welcoming of guests. Our Sukkah is welcoming because of all the bright colors and shimmering sparkles. When someone enters, we hope they have a feeling of happiness. Because its round shaped, it makes us feel like God is always surrounding us.The Neon Sukkah was created by: Lexy Rosenwasser and Avery Purther
