The Jewish Federation of Peoria is inviting children and their families to put their architect skills to work today.
The Federation is hosting a sukkah-building activity at the Peoria Playhouse Children’s Museum.
Sukkahs are huts that serve as a reminder of the ramshackle dwellings the Israelites lived in after fleeing slavery in Egypt. The tradition of building Sukkahs is part of Sukkot, the Jewish holiday that celebrates fall harvest. This year, Sukkot falls on Sept. 27 and ends on Oct. 4.
