Sukkot
Sukkot, a holiday where we live in booths in order to commemorate the time that the israelites spent in the desert as they were fleeing Egypt. Families build a sukkah, a temporary hut, to live in! It is a time of happiness, a time of feasting with loved ones, and a time of gathering!
Story Time!
David had always seen his neighbors building sukkahs for sukkot so this year, his family decided to finally build one as well! David, as excited as he was, went around and found sticks and leaves that he can use for the schach - the roof of the sukkah! Once he and his father finished building the whole sukkah, his family sat inside of it and enjoyed each other's company while feasting on their favorite dish! As they all sat there singing and saying prayers, David realized just how beautiful family time can be and also he felt a wave of gratitude rush over him as he was thankful for the shelter and food that they have - just like the israelites thousands of years ago! David realized that sukkot isn't just about the hut, its about the memories you make and the feelings you feel in the hut!
Steps:
01.
Build the Sukkah
Gather materials like wood, branches, and leaves to build a sukkah. Make sure the roof has enough gaps to see the stars at night.
02.
Decorate the Sukkah
Add decorations to make your sukkah beautiful and welcoming. Hang fruits, colorful paper chains, and other decorations inside.
03.
Eat in the Sukkah
Share meals inside the sukkah with family and friends. It’s a time to feel grateful for the harvest and the food you have.
04.
Lulav and Etrog
Take the lulav and etrog and wave them in six directions—north, south, east, west, up, and down. This is done to thank God for the harvest.
