Can I Build A Digital Sukkah on Facebook?
Rabbi Karen Reiss Medwed, Ph.D., Director, Virtual Pathway
What might a sukkah look like in the digital age? Drawing on the Mishnah’s detailed laws of sukkah construction and the tradition of inviting Ushpizin, this reflection explores how social media can become a contemporary space for connection across time and distance. Through the metaphor of a “Facebook Sukkah,” it considers the fragility, community, memory, and unexpected connections that emerge when we invite others into the spaces we create.
