Sukkot brings us together in the sukkah to share festive meals and shake the lulav and etrog.
The joy continues on Simchat Torah as we sing, dance, and celebrate our connection to the Torah.
Whether you’ve celebrated for years or are discovering these traditions for the first time, there’s a place for you at Illini Chabad.
Every service, meal and candle lighting time, day by day.
Get Set for Sukkot
Celebrate Sukkot with your own lulav and etrog! Every day of Sukkot (except Shabbat) we take the arba minim, a.k.a. “the four kinds.”
Our sukkah stands on the Main Quad all week.
Open every day of chol hamoed, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Stop by to shake the lulav, grab a snack, or just sit down for a minute between classes.
A community party in the sukkah, for every age.
Subs and sides under the schach, crafts for the kids and good company for the adults. The whole CU community is welcome. Please RSVP so we know how many to feed.
The CHABBQ social, moved into the sukkah.
The grill goes on and the sukkah fills up. Come eat, stay as long as you like, and shake the lulav while you are here.
We will
dance again
We finish the Torah, roll it straight back to the beginning, and dance with it.
Flags and treats for the kids, l’chaims for the adults, music and dancing for everyone. Later the hakafot move out onto campus for the sukkah crawl, with a stop at every corner. Morning services and more dancing on Sunday at 10:00 am.
Good for looking up what a day is before you show up to it, and good for going deeper once you have.
