CHICAGO (CBS)-- Members of Chicago's Jewish community will partner with neighbors in North Lawndale to find new meaning in the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. 

Part of the observance includes building temporary shelters called sukkahs.

Local architects helped build the sukkahs as part of the Chicago Sukkah Design Festival. The festival will take place on October 12 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 3615 W. Douglas Blvd. 

 After the holiday ends this coming Sunday, the shelters will become permanent spaces for the community.
