Shake, Shake, Shake...Shake, Shake, Shake...Shake your lulav...Shake your lulav! Yes, it is that wonderful time of year- the holiday of Sukkot! We've eaten our apples and honey on Rosh Hashanah and we atoned for our sins on Yom Kippur. Now we are ready to shake our lulav and smell our etrog as we dwell inside our Sukkah.
We welcomed in Sukkot this past Friday evening with a wonderful Shabbat dinner sponsored by Sisterhood. Services were great, if I do say so myself. We then all had an opportunity to "dwell in the sukkah" during the oneg when we also took turns shaking the lulav!
We continued our Sukkot celebrations today with Religious School. The Parent Council provided all the students with the materials and directions to make their own edible sukkahs...believe me when I tell you they looked both fabulous and delicious! All of our students also took turns fulfilling the Sukkot Mitzvot of eating in the sukkah and shaking the lulav.
Our Sukkot Celebrations will continue tomorrow during Confirmation class and again on Tuesday when all of our Hebrew School students will enjoy "Pizza in the Hut." If you'd like to join us on Tuesday evening for dinner, please let me or the office know so we make sure to have enough pizza!
Mo'adim L'simcha! Chag Sameach! Happy Sukkot...and Happy Shaking!
Here's a sample of the fun we had as videographed by Allyson Ellner:
