Sukkot in the Community: Davis Academy
Area schools created lesson plans to teach the students the importance and meaning of Sukkot.
Sukkot was a joyous holiday and a time of great celebration at The Davis Academy. Students in Mechina through eighth grade decorated our two beautiful sukkot on both campuses drawing their inspiration from the tzedek (righteousness/ social action) themes in each grade level’s curriculum.
We welcomed families and guests to sing and spend time together as a kehilah. In addition, students enjoyed classes in the sukkah, creating edible sukkot and conducting science labs. While doing all of these activities in the sukkah, we remembered where we had come from and also what truly matters in life—the simple blessings of family, health, and shelter. Focusing on these simple blessings made Sukkot truly live up to its name: the season of our rejoicing.
