For Moroccan Jews, Sukkot isn’t just one arc in the High Holiday calendar — it’s the heart of the season. In Moroccan tradition Sukkot is known as ‘chag la’ushpizin,’ “the holiday of welcoming guests,” and is marked by vibrant hospitality, abundant food, and deep spiritual reflection. In that spirit, we invite 30somethings dating in Philly’s Jewish community to meet new people, enjoy a feast for the senses, and walk away with a few soulful insights to carry into the holiday!

Marrakesh, a hidden gem in Society Hill, is not your average dinner out. From the moment you step inside, prepare to be transported to Morocco — picture low, plush seating, colorful tapestries and pillows, glowing lanterns, and ornate brass everything. Start with a rosewater hand-washing ritual followed by a vibrant 7-course (!!!) family-style Moroccan feast including dessert. When the belly dancer swings through, that’s when the dinner party turns into a party-party.

Designed as a meaningful lead-up to Sukkot, the evening will also help you welcome the holiday with intention as Tribe 12’s rabbinic intern Adina Ikeman and Tribe 12 matchmaker Danielle Selber (who is a Moroccan Jew) share personal stories and Jewish mystical traditions.

Your $40 ticket covers the a 7-course feast (tip and tax are already included). Marrakesh is happy to accommodate dietary restrictions, just speak to a server when you arrive. This venue is BYOB so feel free to bring a bottle to share — an excellent way to break the ice!

In the spirit of welcoming guests, we invite you to bring a friend who has never been to Tribe 12 event and enjoy 20% off each of your tickets when you sign up together. Registration will open soon!
