Sukkot: Celebrating Gratitude and Community πΏπ
Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, is a week-long Jewish holiday that celebrates the fall harvest and commemorates the journey of the Jewish people through the wilderness. During this time, families build temporary shelters called sukkot to remind themselves of the fragility of life and to express gratitude for protection and sustenance.
Why It Matters
In the workplace, recognizing Sukkot fosters an inclusive environment where Jewish employees feel seen and respected. Itβs a great opportunity to promote cultural awareness and encourage a sense of community, as the holiday centers around hospitality and togetherness.
Celebration Idea
π‘ Host a learning session to educate employees about Sukkot and its traditions, or organize a virtual gratitude event to reflect on the themes of the holiday.
