 Sukkoth & Thanksgiving

Well, it makes perfect sense. All this time living here in Cape Cod and we never thought of the relationship between the two holidays. Really like that picture too!

 Christmas lights in the sukkah

I have found your article interesting for many reasons...

1) As a child growing up I always wanted to have Christmas lights they are so beautiful. Perhaps next year I will be able to put up my own Sukkah and have "Sukkah" lights inside.

2) I also found this article interesting because I grew up at Congregation Gates of Heaven in Schenectady New York. I am currenlty residing in Orlando, Florida as a single parent of an interfaith marriage. I will be at Congregation Gates of Heaven for my nieces Bat Mitzvah next month.

Enjoy your lights and thank you for the inspiring article.

 sukkot construction, ideas

I am a Christian Zionist, and have been enjoying the holidays. Do you have available to us lists of materials, or photos for ideas for construction. It is my desire to encourage others in our area to particiapte and learn the joy and thrill of fulfilling this great experience. The more I experience of our roots the more attached I become to the teachings of the Torah and Talmud. It is my privilage to be a Minister and College Professor, in Joplin, MO. This in itself provides a large arena of influnce for the teaching of Judahism. We are more than believers, but fellows on the road of life.

My two e-mail addresses are: wlshack@janics.com [home], buds@pcg.org [college].

Thanks so much to Paula for sharing her story. As a recent convert, I too have pondered what to do with boxes of treasured Christmas ornaments. I've never put up my own sukkah before, but Paula, you've inspired me to do so next year!

Thanks again
