The Festival of Tabernacles

The leaves are turning
    A chill's in the air
  Time to head outside
    and live out there

  In a booth heaven-designed
    room for a table and chairs
  Invite family and friends
    to sample exquisite fare
  
  Not to forget the widow and orphan
    the downtrodden poor
  whose faces light up ~
    as you serve soup du jour



  ______________________________  
  The Festival of Tabernacles - Sukkot - 
  begins at sundown this Friday evening.

I learned a little of the Feast of Tabernacles in an O. T. Survey class at school. Did not know how it was celebrated, I like the idea of the booths. John
