As we enter Sukkot, a holiday of shelter, gratitude, and community, we are reminded of the importance of safety, care, and connection. This year, Sukkot carries a deeper resonance as we reflect on the fragility of peace in our world.

Building and dwelling in the sukkah reminds us that even in temporary shelters, we can find strength and hope. May this festival inspire us to nurture and protect one another.

Wishing our community a meaningful Sukkot filled with light, reflection, and togetherness.

Today, Chef Eric shared the story of the sabich sandwich at our Taste of Heritage event, a delicious layering of eggplant, egg, and fresh toppings. More than just a dish, sabich carries with it a journey of migration, tradition, and community.

We’re proud to celebrate these traditions at Frank Residences, where every bite is a chance to learn and come together.
