Sukkot is truly a beautiful celebration of God's abundance in the harvest Gershon. I have also seen this feast referred to as the Feast of Tabernacles. I am always so delighted when I read your poems about the festivals, holy days and customs in Judaism. Thank you for that blessing. Blessings to you.
