Sukkot (Hebrew for “Tabernacles”) is a seven-day harvest festival; the happiest of biblical holidays, which celebrates the bounty of nature. Each year, a fragile booth and four species of plants is erected to represent the agricultural world.

Join art educator Nancy Kotz for a fascinating program looking at woodcuts, etchings, illuminated manuscripts, papercuts, silver and wood etrog boxes, paintings, photographs and prints.

It is a chronological and geographic overview of visual art objects and their symbolism related to Sukkot.
