As Reform Jews, we were nervous about the religious aspect, but at Schechter, you are free to practice your religion as you see fit. We don't feel different than and we don't feel any pressure to be "more religious". At the same time, we respect those that are more observant than us and love that there is a place for everyone.

- Jill, ParentI am a proud alum of Schechter and cannot begin to measure the impact it has had on my life. Unlike any other school, Schechter has a focus on high-level thinking and advanced academic skills that go beyond the classroom, but in daily life.

This issue explores some of the ways that students have delved into the holiday: a MakerSpace Sukkot Challenge, multiage collaboration to decorate the school, and community-building Sukkot activities sponsored by Schechter’s Parent Association. Plus, you’ll catch a photographic glimpse of so many other aspects of the holiday!
