Sunday, October 20, 2024 – Newburgh Waterfront, New York

By the grace of Hashem, Almighty God, everything aligned perfectly that Sunday for a public Sukkot celebration like no other. The late October weather was unusually mild, gifting us with a gentle breeze and clear, crisp skies—ideal conditions for a joyous outdoor event along the Newburgh Waterfront’s bustling boardwalk. Families with strollers, couples hand-in-hand, dog-walkers, and curious onlookers took their usual weekend stroll, only this time, they encountered something unexpected.
