Sukkoth, the Fall Harvest Holiday
once again comes Israel’s way
Although all hope for a bountiful crop
that’s not where the festival stops
What we take in is not what Sukkoth is about
rather, what matters ~ is what we give out
__________________________________________
The Festival of Sukkoth begins at sun-
down this evening and lasts 7 days,
followed by Shemini Atzereth and
then Simchat Torah. In Israel all
schools are closed for the entire
holiday. Many adults also take off
for this festival, known as 'The
Season of Our Joy.'
