The East London Sukkah is a ground-breaking week long installation bridging religion, politics, food and sustainability. For one week only a sukkah will be created at Spitalfields City Farm, a Jewish tradition reinvented as a site of interaction, art and activism.
'Sukkah City: New York City' will re-imagine the ancient phenomenon of the sukkah: an ephemeral, elemental shelter, erected for one week each autumn, in which it is customary to share meals, entertain, sleep, and rejoice.
Yom Kippur is often hailed as the holiest day in the Jewish calendar,
but what does this holiness mean? Is it abstract, is it heavenly, is it
somehow above us?
