A beautiful first days was had with wonderful people, shaking the lulav and esrog and meals in the wonderful outdoors while we all enjoy Sukkos!
The Brookdale Galleria residents enjoyed a wonderful sukkah this year as well, with a choir of dedicated kids singing their hearts out bringing them the feels to their hearts and smiles to their faces! Thank you to Bluma, Menucha, Ella, Levi, Joshua, Tzion and Ruthie for doing a great mitzvah!
In the news: Young professional groups pride themselves on bringing people together for big events. For Sukkot, two (actually, three) popular Houston organizations will be joining forces to make the party even more exciting. Read all about it in this week's Jewish Herald Voice!
