Sukkot is Here

Yep. Sukkot is right around the corner. Avid readers of Michelle's blog may have seen pictures of the prefab Sukkah that we built. The pre-fab Sukkot are great and almost everybody has them. On the night after Yom Kippur when we put up most of the Sukkah, you could hear the cling-cling-cling of other people hammering down their pre-fab pieces as well. I must admit though, it does kind of feel like cheating. Our ancestors used these Sukkot as shelter while they harvested the fall crop. Heck, 10 years ago people were still banging 2x4s together to make a Sukkah. I think it took us a total of 15 minutes. And that includes unwrapping the poles.

One of the nicest things about Sukkot in Jerusalem is, well, the Sukkot. They are everywhere. We are eating in ours tonight, and then I have taken upon the mission of eating in every single Sukkah the city has to offer. It's like speed dating, only with food. And Sukkot. And they don't bring the Sukkot to you. I'm going to try anyways.
