There was singing, dancing, and prayer at Sinai Temple in Los Angeles as more one thousand people from AJC, the Israeli community, and the Latino Pentecostal and Evangelical community joined together on October 8th to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.

This year’s celebration, organized by AJC's Assistant Director of Interreligious Affairs Randy Brown, was the culmination of this year's 'Essence of Judaism' program. The event was filled with songs in English, Hebrew Spanish and Ladino (a combination of Spanish and Hebrew), participation by the Latino community in the Jewish rituals associated with Sukkot, and a presentation on the growing relationship between the Jewish and Latino communities.
