Build Your Own Reusable Sukkah:

All are encouraged to build your own sukkah to enjoy this joyous and meaningful fall holiday. CSI member Micah Rosen has created a fantastic step-by-step video guide on how to construct a reusable sukkah frame. The video includes all of the supplies needed and even shows you where to find the items in stores. Building a sukkah is simple and affordable- let Micah show you how!
