Jewish Community To Celebrate Sukkot Holiday Community Sukkahs At Miami-Dade Parks
Be a part of the beautiful predawn and sunrise start and run along the Broadwalk, this is a huge draw for people from all over the U.S.
By Rabbi Moishe Kievman - Chabad Chayil
We encourage you to contact your local Chabad or Synagogue to celebrate the holiday. As the seasons change from summer to fall and families spend more time inside, the Jewish community of South Florida will celebrate the annual holiday of Sukkot by heading outdoors. Sukkot, also known as the holiday of booths, begins this year (5786/2025) at sundown on Monday, October 6th and concludes on the evening of Monday, October 13th. The two day holiday of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah immediately follows Sukkot, beginning the evening of Monday, October 13th and ending on the evening of Wednesday, October 15th. During Sukkot, we remember G-d’s kindness to us during our journey through the desert by dwelling in a sukkah--a hut of temporary construction with a roof covering of branches--for the duration of the Sukkot festival. For seven days and nights, we eat all our meals in the sukkah and otherwise regard it as our home. The temporary booths emphasize how the world and the Jewish people rely on G-d’s protection.

Big Adventures, Bright Vibes Fresh Ride, Bright Vibe: Your Ride. Your Space. Your Community. By Jose Paz
Every Sunday morning, 10year-old Ethan jumps out of bed a little faster than usual. He knows it’s not just any day; it’s “Grandma Day.” For the past year, Ethan and his grandmother Rachel have made it a tradition to ride the bus together every Sunday. It’s their shared ritual: no rush, no screens, no distractions. Just the two of them, discovering new corners of Broward County one route at a time. Sometimes it’s a visit to the park for kite flying and ice cream. Other times it’s a trip to the library, a stop at the local market, or even an afternoon exploring nature at a community center. The destinations change, but the feeling stays joyful, relaxed, and connected. “The ride is part of the adven-
ture,” says Grandma Rachel. “And for me, it’s also a way to keep moving, keep social, and share time with my grandson without worrying about driving or parking.” As a senior, Rachel rides with a reduced fare, which helps stretch his budget. She’s also grateful for the thoughtful design of the buses, which have low floors, accessible seating, and drivers who greet her with a smile and lend a hand when needed. For Ethan, the bus is magical. He loves watching the city roll by, choosing the “best” seat, and announcing their next stop. “It’s like we’re going on a mini vacation every Sunday,” he says. “And Grandma lets me pick the route.” Their favorite trip? “The one where we went to the farmers
market, tried dragon fruit for the first time, and rode back home just in time to catch the sunset.” Ron laughs, remembering the day. “It was a great ride. The bus was cool, clean, and quiet. We were tired, but happy. It’s something we look forward to every week.” At BCT, we believe public transit should be more than just transportation; it should be a fresh experience that makes daily life better for every age. Whether you’re a grandparent creating memories or a kid with a curious heart, there’s a seat for you on board. Fresh Ride. Bright Vibe.

Scholl, exploring the poetics of space exploration through assemblages of NASA memorabilia. The exhibition takes its title from astronaut John Glenn’s experience of witnessing four sunsets as he orbited Earth in 1962, evoking themes of time, memory, and the sublime vastness of the cosmos. Scholl’s work, rooted in the language of historical artifacts and collective memory, arranges space exploration ephemera into compositions structured by the dodecagon — a recurring motif in his practice that represents cyclical time and cosmic order. Over the past decade, he has meticulously gathered NASArelated materials, including mission patches, declassified docu-
ments, photographs, and newspaper clippings, integrating them into intricate assemblages that reframe our understanding of humanity’s relationship with the unknown. Scholl’s work gives us an insight into his keen collector’s eye and his skill at design and storytelling. In Untitled (Viking Orbiter II), photographs of Mars captured using surface imaging are arranged in thoughtful compositions. Visitors will find themselves viewing a piece of history transported back to 1969 with the work Untitled (Man on Moon). This exhibition contains more than 14 works of art that immerse the viewer into the history and collective memory of outer space, the universe, and astronauts. From real space food

to sculptures created using space gloves, to viewfinders with images of the universe, this exhibition will fascinate science, history and modern art enthusiasts alike. As a filmmaker, Scholl has chronicled untold stories across art, music, and cultural history. His feature documentaries have explored a forgotten 1950’s abstract painter, the rise of 1960’s soul music in Miami, the vanishing Jewish communities of Miami Beach in the 1970’s, a Cuban ballerina’s pursuit of freedom in the 1990’s, and the voice of the greatest jazz singer of the 21st century. His films have been showcased at over 100 interHollywood Art, Page 4A
