Join cross-cultural musician Alan Lili, a member of the binational and bilingual hip-hop trio tulengua, as we celebrate a very special Sukkot Shabbat. Enjoy a farm-to-table dinner with a sunset view after we experience Shabbat blessings under a stunning sukkah at Coastal Roots Farm. In the theme of Sukkot, Alan will be delighting us with stories of turning strangers into friends, as well as entertaining us with the music that was born from connecting across lines of difference. You won’t want to miss this very special Sukkot Shabbat.
Guests can purchase a table (up to six guests) for their own pod, or sit at a community table to make new friends (register soon – we can only honor GF and vegan dietary preferences submitted by Monday, October 10th)!

Meet Our Speaker:
Alan Lili practices and celebrates interdependence through music, communication, and storytelling. Originally from Mexico City, Alan was raised in San Diego, vagabonded around the world, and now lives between SD and Tijuana. He is a member and co-founder of tulengua – a bilingual music supergroup with members from both sides of the US/Mexico border. He also co-hosts the cross-border KPBS podcast “Port of Entry“. All of his work is dedicated to melting borders and nourishing a spirit of possibility.
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.
Lifelong Baltimoreans, Rabbi George and Alison Wielechowski and their sons, 11-year-old Lennon and 9-year-old Gideon, are more than pursuing the good life in Southern California. Having moved to San Diego more than three years ago, they are fulfilling a lifelong dream.
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.
