In New York City, especially among those who live in apartments, building a sukkah for Sukkot takes ingenuity, leading to creative solutions that often intrude on public space.
With most city dwellers lacking backyards, sukkahs pop up in unexpected places, from sidewalks to fire escapes, showcasing the community’s resourcefulness and commitment to tradition.
Sukkot, a harvest festival, commemorates the wandering of the Israelites with temporary dwellings that symbolize a connection to both nature and memory of past hardships.
The unique architecture in certain Brooklyn neighborhoods maximizes sky views from sukkahs, reflecting how local design adaptations meet cultural traditions in urban spaces.
