Sukkah City X DC’s creative sukkahs have been a wonderful way to learn about the Jewish holiday of Sukkot! “Woven” by Hord Coplan Macht has twisting palm branches and rope united to make an intimate gathering space. Esther Furman, Designer, shares this look at the creative process: “I loved working alongside people from all walks of life, collaborating to bring the fun, creative structures to fruition. Watching adults and children sit down and introduce themselves, read about the holiday, even have a dinner date (we saw this in action!), was extremely rewarding.” From Jordan Billingsley, Design Technology Manager: "What I enjoyed most about the Sukkah was spending time with my coworkers and learning more about the tradition from my observant friends. Making the Sukkah itself was a labor of love but it was satisfying to see it all come together!" Also exciting to note is that Hord Coplan Macht is part of the Capital Society – the Museum’s corporate membership program!
