We've created these assets for your Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, and Simhat Torah events. Feel free to use these templates to get creative with your programming. These are customizable templates, you can add your own logo and personalize it for your shul.

In this resource from the Masorti Environmental Sustainability Initiative (MESI), Joe Blumberg, a JTS Rabbinical Student, asks the question, "Why are we here?" And encourages us this High Holidays to listen to the still, small voice of our planet. 

The High Holiday Toolkit for Jewish Men is a guide designed to facilitate pause, reflection, and choice for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. This toolkit offers a unique opportunity for men to engage deeply with themes of masculinity, personal growth, vulnerability, and accountability.

Women's League for Conservative Judaism has amazing resources for the High Holidays and Sukkot season on their website. We've listed several here:

Sukkot is a great time of year to engage with the teens and youth in your synagogue. You can also utilize Rosh Hashanah as a time to advertise these events for your youth community. To help get your creativity going, USY has developed a list of some helpful program ideas for various age levels from 3rd-12th along with a brief description of each program.

For additional help with any of these programs or assistance in coming up with other creative ideas that work for your synagogue please reach out directly to USY’s Director of Chapter Outreach & Initiatives, Marc Sender, msender@uscj.org.
