The Week Ahead: Sukkot, Oktoberfest, Dried Wreath Workshop, Light Painting, Book Sale

Welcome fall!

Welcome to fall! Autumn arrived at 4:44 p.m. Sunday, on what felt like, for the most part, a beautiful summer day.

From here on out, it'll be shorter days, longer nights, and cooler temperatures. Here are some events coming up this week, to help you get your fall off to a great start.  

This week, celebrate the Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot with others from the shoreline by eating pizza, listening to stories, singing songs and creating crafts. The event is for people of all ages. Check out the listing to find out more.

Also this week, the 2013 Octoberfest at the Wharf kicks off with Chef Dion's special, four course German wine dinner. A guest speaker will present wines that have been paired with each course. Advance reservations required. Call 203-350-0014, or visit OpenTable.com. To view the menu, visit http://www.madisonbeachhotel.com/files/964/Oktoberfest_Wine_Dinner_menu_Madison_Beach_Hotel.pdf  This is the first of Madison Beach Hotel's 2013-2014 season of specialty dinners.

Later this week, you can join others at the Mercy Center for an evening reflection on the life of Father Henri Nouwen, a spiritual writer. "Henri's life and thought, his struggles and his ability to see Divine Love at the heart of his personal darkness make him a perfect companion for our own personal spiritual journeys," according to the Mercy Center. Find out more here.
