LUNAR: Sukkot and Autumn Moon Festival Gathering

Let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival and Sukkot, as only Asian Jews can! We will begin at a garden in Berkeley to picnic as we nibble on mooncakes and fruit while chatting about harvest traditions in both Asian and Jewish cultures. We will then conclude the night at a local Deli for a communal dinner. This event is open to Asian American Jews. LUNAR defines ‘Asian American Jews’ as folks who identify as both Jewish (whether by heritage, religion or culture) and Asian American - this includes mixed-race folks, transracial adoptees, Asian Jews by Choice, and more. We fully welcome those in the process of converting to Judaism or simply exploring Judaism. Things to know: *Mooncakes and one entree per dinner are on LUNAR *Please bring a communal offering of a picnic blanket and fruit for the picnic. If any other items from your heritage speak to you, please bring it as well! *If you are feeling sick, please sit this event out *Please inform us if you wish to not be in photos, as group photos will be taken and maybe used on LUNAR/attendees' social media pages *Mind the weather, and dress warmly if you think you'll be cold! The LUNAR Collective is the first and only organization for Asian American Jews. Learn more at: www.weareasianjews.org, or @asian.jews on Instagram
