This Chol Hamoed, Chabad Lubavitch UK welcomed the crowds for the third year running to its largest public Sukkah in the country, located in the heart of London in New Street Square.
Set in a busy pedestrian square in between Fleet Street and Holborn, the 50sq metre stylish Sukkah is specifically designed and decorated to fit in with the local environment. For the duration of Sukkot it was a big talking point for the many thousands of people who work close to and pass through the square.
During the three days of programs and events over 1000 people came through the Sukkah doors to shake the lulav, eat some food or just find out more about the festival of Sukkot.
A variety of events took place included Shiurim, a Wine Tasting evening, mincha services and open lunches each day including a gourmet lunch sponsored by Deloitte.
The New Street Square Sukkah is a partnership project between Chabad Lubavitch and a number of local city firms including Bolt Partners, Deloitte, Freshfields, Herbert Smith, Mishcon De Reya, Speechly Bircham and Taylor Wessing.
Rabbi Bentzi Sudak, Chief Executive of Chabad Lubavitch said, “Each year the numbers who pass through our Sukkah continue to grow as does the support we receive from local firms. Once again it has been a fantastic success and we’re already looking forward to next year.”
Neville Kahn, Managing Partner at Deloitte LLP said, “We are delighted to have supported Sukkah in the Square again this year. Diversity and inclusion are important anchors in our culture at Deloitte and this is a wonderful opportunity to bring together our city community to celebrate our harvest festival of Sukkot.”
