Discover the Joys of Summer in the Sukkat Shalom Garden
Looking for a peaceful escape this summer? Step into the serene beauty of the Sukkat Shalom Garden. Plus it is often a few degrees cooler than the forecast due to the beautiful canopy of trees. Whether you’re seeking solitude, meaningful connection, or a change of scenery, here are five great reasons to spend time in the garden:
1. Settle in with a Good Book
Grab a refreshing drink and enjoy the calm with a book—either one you bring or one from our brand-new Lending Library!
You’ll find inspiring prayer and meditation booklets curated by Rabbi Poirier and fellow member Naomi Litrownik, with more reading selections coming soon.
2. Catch Up Over Coffee
Meeting a friend for coffee? Why not meet here instead? Bring your cool or hot drinks and enjoy a catch-up surrounded by the quiet beauty of the garden.
3. Picnic Under the Trees
Pack a light lunch or some snacks, spread out under the canopy, and enjoy the sounds of birdsong while you enjoy a peaceful meal outdoors.
4. Work with a View
Need a break from your usual workspace? Bring your laptop and take advantage of the garden’s calm energy and newly electrically powered gazebo. It’s a perfect place to think or write surrounded by nature.
5. Move and Breathe
The gazebo now has electricity—perfect for setting up a yoga or fitness session with friends. Bring a device, your mat, stream a class, and enjoy a gentle workout in the fresh air.
This summer, make the Sukkat Shalom Garden your go-to spot for rest, reflection, and reconnection.
It’s your space—come enjoy it!
