Orthodox Jews do it every Sukkot :)

Oh sweet, they welcome non-Jewish strangers too? I didn’t know that, I assumed it was just for their own community

  • We invite everyone, Jewish or not. We've hosted so many people, strangers and friends alike. It makes more sense to Jews, but it's also a great conversation to have with others.

I attended a Sukkot, druing which the host jokingly called the tent a "Jew Fort" and they had some lovely food and burned some herbs and overall had a great time. I really like the religious festivals that integrate more people. Like Holi, where I got to throw a lot of colored sand or something at people and eat good food. I feel like events like that really help integrate communities.

Not Estonian, but a Swedish fellow I knew always had a summer event with lawn darts and other odd games and food each summer
