Sukkot is our festival of booths when we build a temporary shelter and fill it with the plentitude of life – friends, food and fun times. As Abbot Kinney Blvd. is footsteps away, we dedicate our Sukkot Festival as “Sukkot on the AK Farm” to commemorate Abbot Kinney’s vision had for a “Venice by the Sea” – a community of inclusivity, creativity and vision – which is kind of like what Sukkot is all about. It’s a day to say yes to life, learn more about Open Temple and our Creative Torah Academy Hebrew School of the Arts for Kids and connect with community.

Open Temple offers outdoor, social-distance rituals guided by protocols for Faith Based Organizations from the LA Department of Public Health and CDC.

Ma’ariv is the mixing of light and darkness. The sun sets and the Divine Palate reveals itself in the sky. As the colors stir and blend, darkness envelops the sky. Our prayers lead us through this process. LA River Expeditions rent their flotilla of kayaks for Open Temple to launch into the canals. Music, Enchantment and Stirring of the Souls.

Open to the first 50 RSVPs ($36 deposit to reserve spot and refunded on request after you attend)

Open Temple’s Creative Torah Academy for kids ages 6 - 13 is a unique Jewish Journey for students to engage in Torah, Jewish Civilization, Thought and Traditions through art, music, dance, theater, nature and spirituality.   

Our students are the children of intermarried couples, assimilated Jews, Jews without Jewish education, or Jews with too much Jewish education, Jews who feel disenfranchised or alienated from Jewish life as the prayers and rituals seem remote or Jews on the periphery and their children. Open Temple provides a place for all of the “Jew-ishly curious” to reclaim our spiritual center. What we all have in common is that we are curious and willing to create something through our curiosity. Together.
