As with Jews worldwide, Weber transitions from the reflective mood of Yom Kippur to the joyousness of Sukkot through several traditional practices, including the mitzvot (commandments) of ‘dwelling’ in the sukkah and waving the Lulav and Etrog. Throughout the week, students had the opportunity to eat lunch and attend classes in the sukkah. Weber also held a special evening Night Under the Sukkah event for students featuring food, music, and outdoor games.
