Ushpizin

| Sukkot By :  ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Posted On Oct 2, 2015 / 5776 | דבר ×חר | A Different Perspective | Holidays

Ushpizin, (literally, œguests) is the tradition of inviting the exalted men and women of the Bible into our sukkot. Each year, since 5772, professional and novice artists including ¹û¶³´«Ã½ students, faculty, and staff have taken the concept of ushpizin as the centerpiece and inspiration for an art installation in the famed sukkot built each year in the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ courtyard. Part of the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Arts Initiative, the sukkot exhibit is managed under the guidance of Tobi Kahn, ¹û¶³´«Ã½ artist-in-residence.
