It is customary during Sukkot to invite guests into one’s sukkah to eat and enjoy the space together. Stone Temple Baptist Church, Metro Chicago Hillel, and the JUF’s Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) will be exemplifying this practice by partnering to host an Interfaith Dinner in the Chicago Sukkah Design Festival space, inviting members of all faiths and cultural backgrounds to come together to break bread and create shared memories in the sukkahs.

During the meal, the Chicago History Museum will present an interfaith program that explores themes of adaptive reuse and religious identity through the lens of changing uses of sacred space in North Lawndale, including a group discussion around how place, space, migration, and belief relate to our ideas of shared heritage.

The meal will be lovingly prepared by Diaspora Dinners and Flava Food 4 the Soul. Dress comfortably for the outdoors!
