One Last Dance

Sukkot isn't over quite yet
     One more festival left
     by the name of Shemini Atzeret

     No tabernacle, no esrog, no lulav
     Jews just dance with the Torah
       ~ before God, dearly beloved



     _____________________________
     Shemini Atzeret means the '8th Day
     Conclusion' (of Sukkot). The esrog
     is a lemon look-alike (but sweet), 
     used along with the lulav, (a palm
     tree branch/frond) used in the 
     synogague services throughout 
     Sukkot.
