October 2012—5773 Dear Friends, The High Holy Days are over, But the Jews, we get no rest, ‘Cus Sukkot’s ‘round the corner (Some call it Sukkes!)

What IS this thing with a booth? And what and how are we to do All that’s commanded & required With something more than Elmer’s glue?

Is a Sukkah complex? Naw, it’s easy and fun There are instructions online Neil (http://www.myjewishlearning.com/holidays/ Jewish_Holidays/Sukkot/At_Home/The_Sukkah/Laws/ Then our Sukkah means nothing Building_a_Sukkah.shtml) No matter the tradition Or even kits if you need one (sukkot.com, suk kahdepot.com, sukkahworld.com, sukkahsoul.com, suk So, yes, let’s build a Sukkah kahkits.com and more!) And may our awareness be sure And may our Sukkot bring safety and shelter But building a Sukkah, To the homeless and the poor What does it mean & what’s it say Is it quite obvious, Then comes the Torah’s Or hidden away? Re-booting, restart Recycling and re-rolling The Sukkah you may know To which there’s really an art Represents two thing things in our Tradition One’s from our forty homeless desert years We roll out the whole thing When we built what we could to live in The Torah in the round We read the end & the beginning The other’s from the harvest days The ancient chant resound-ing In Israel of old We built booths by our field’s edges And at Beth Shir Shalom we do For sleeping, or so I’m told Something more that’s very cool Last year’s B’ney Mitzvah But I see another meaning From our Hebrew School Another explanation That’s from our lives and city Come up and read Our world and nation A bit from the portion They read on the day You see, if we only build a Sukkah They became men and women But then pass right on by So be with us for Sukkot The homeless souls in doorways And on Simchat Torah, too Without asking why And may your soul be joyful As we welcome and embrace you! And what we can do about Their terrible condition Chag Sameyach! 2
