| Celebrating Sukkot |
October 04, 2012 |

Jews have been celebrating the joyous harvest holiday of Sukkot for thousands of years. Many build a hut, called a sukkah, where they invite friends and family for festive meals. The roofs are made of branches, open to the sky, recalling a vulnerability that is as relevant now as when the Jews were wandering in the desert.
