On Sunday, Sept. 30 Community Day School and PJ Library Pittsburgh hosted S.T.E.A.M. Senses of Sukkot, welcoming children ages 2 to 5 and their grownups to celebrate the holiday while engaging in multisensory science, technology, engineering, art and math
experiences.

Visitors prepared friendship fruit salad, created Sukkah decorations out of natural materials, examined deconstructed gourds, and explored the lulav, etrog and other materials under a digital microscope.

The PJ Library corner provided a quiet space to read and connect, and the journey through a tot-sized hay maze supported the mitzvah of hachnasat orchim (welcoming guests) as children encountered new friends within the maze.
