Join Repair the World Detroit and Adamah Detroit for a walk along Belle Isle on Friday, September 25, as we welcome the beauty of early fall and the arrival of Shabbat. We will gather with old friends and new community members, taking in the calming, restorative rhythm of nature together. The walk includes an opening circle, a closing circle, and a brief Jewish teaching connecting our time outside to Jewish values of rest, gratitude, and community. Wear comfortable shoes or boots, bring a full water bottle, and come with an open heart as we prepare to welcome in Shabbat.

Beginning this Friday, members and players of the Maccabi United Nigeria Football Academy will come together to help in the construction of a community sukkah for Gihon Hebrew Synagogue in Abuja. This hands-on build gives our young athletes a meaningful way to serve their community in the spirit of the festival and connect their love of sport with Jewish tradition and practice. The players will be having a busy weekend, as they will be together to usher in Shabbat, and will participate in their first Sukkot football match on Sunday to entertain their community.

Over the past few months, my community has experienced unpredictable weather and drought, which have destroyed many gardens and crops. Because many families depend on agriculture for their food and livelihood, this has created serious food shortages. As Sukkot, a harvest-centered Jewish holiday, approaches, I am organizing volunteers to collect food from families who have enough and are willing to share with those experiencing greater need. On Friday, our volunteers will distribute the food we collect to families and individuals in the community who are experiencing hunger. The program is an opportunity to connect the spirit of Sukkot with caring for our neighbors and ensuring that no one is left without food.

We will be visiting local Holocaust Survivors prior to Sukkot and providing them with Challah.

Join Adamah on Campus and Repair the World for a beach clean up on September 27th as part of the first ever Adamah on Campus Midwest Camping Trip, September 25–27. We invite students from colleges and universities across the Midwest to spend Shabbat on Lake Michigan, camp in tents, explore the natural beauty of the dunes, share delicious meals around the campfire, connect with fellow students who love the outdoors, and beautify our surroundings through a Jewish service and learning program with Repair the World.

In the event of Sukkot we shall celebrate with people from different backgrounds and we shall use this opportunity to learn about Sukkot ,share a meal and also extend a hand of support to students who need some help by distributing some scholastic materials.

Join Repair the World and The Tribe for a night of candy sukkah making and housing justice work. We'll shake the lulav, share some drinks, and dig into what housing justice looks like in our community — with a service project to back it up. Have a bit of fun while you're at it. If the lulav is rockin', don't come knockin'!
