Sukkot
Shop
for HIGH HOLIDAY GIFTS AND RITUAL
The
Jewish High Holidays come in a family pack.
Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur
are the serious, reserved older siblings who grapple with issues of
life and death, sin and repentance in a somber way.
Sukkot is the baby of the family who deals with important matters
of faith and unity with laughter, feasts, and song.
Sukkot
drives home its message with several props: the sukkah, a temporary booth
or hut, the lulav, a palm frond bound together with myrtle and willow
branches, and the etrog, a citron fruit that looks like a bumpy lemon.
Sukkot engages every sense in celebration.
We touch the lulav, smell the etrog, see the sukkah decorations,
and taste the crisp cool autumn in every bite of every meal savored in a
sukkah.
Click on the menu options above right, and
read more about the themes, traditions and customs, the Sukah, the Lulav
and the Etrog, all of which make this holiday so very spiritual and
joyful.
