The Hive is excited to invite you back to Leichtag Commons for a beautiful sunset Shabbat-by-the-Sea celebrating the festival of Sukkot! We’re hosting a three-course, outdoor meal with special guest educator, Nate Looney, a racial justice educator and urban farmer. Nate will integrate teachings of Sukkot and Shabbat into the evening, making a dynamic experience filled with food and fun.
Guests will have the ability to either purchase a table (up to six guests) for their own pod, or sit at a community table to make new friends! Because this event is centered around a meal, we are requiring that all guests be fully vaccinated and show proof upon entry. We’re capping the event at 30 guests.
Enjoy a fabulous sunset and Shabbat meal for this simple Sukkot experience with The Hive!
At this time, our event is full. Please email Paige (paige@thehivesd.org) with any questions.

Stacie and Jeff Cook understand commitment. They live it.
Black, Jewish and Queer. These three identities weave the fabric of who I am, but it took a long time to believe that they could exist together.
Lee and Toni Leichtag established the Leichtag Foundation in 1991 following the sale of their business. Lee and Toni were lifelong entrepreneurs with a passion for innovation and for supporting talent. They believed that only with big risk comes big reward. Both born to families in poverty, Toni to a single mother, they strongly believed in helping those most in need and most vulnerable in our community. While they supported many causes, their strongest support was for young children and the elderly, two demographics who particularly lack voice in our society.

You would think that as the executive director of San Diego LGBT Pride, Fernando Zweifach López Jr., who uses the pronoun they, has done all the coming out they possibly can. A queer, non-binary individual who has worked for many years on civil rights issues, López also speaks openly and often about their father’s family, Mexican-American migrant workers who tilled the fields of rural California.
