Sukkot
For forty years, as our
ancestors traversed the Sinai
Desert prior to their entry into
the Holy Land, miraculous
"clouds of glory" surrounded and
hovered over them, shielding
them from the dangers and
discomforts of the desert. Ever
since, we remember G-d's
kindness and reaffirm our trust
in His providence by dwelling in
a sukkah--a hut of temporary
construction with a roof
covering of branches--for the
duration of the Sukkot festival
(Tishrei 15-21). For seven days
and nights, we eat all our meals
in the sukkah and otherwise
regard it as our home.
Another Sukkot observance is the
taking of the Four Kinds: an
etrog (citron), a lulav (palm
frond), three hadassim (myrtle
twigs) and two aravot (willow
twigs). On each day of the
festival (excepting Shabbat), we
take the Four Kinds, recite a
blessing over them, bring them
together in our hands and wave
them in all six directions:
right, left, forward, backward,
up and down. The Midrash tells
us that the Four Kinds represent
the various types and
personalities that comprise the
community of Israel, whose
intrinsic unity we emphasize on
Sukkot.
Sukkot is also called The Time
of Our Joy; indeed, a special
joy pervades the festival.
Nightly Water-Drawing
Celebrations, reminiscent of the
evening-to-dawn festivities held
in the Holy Temple in
preparation for the drawing of
water for use in the festival
service, fill the synagogues and
streets with song, music and
dance until the wee hours of the
morning.
The seventh day of Sukkot is
called Hoshaana Rabbah ("Great
Salvation") and closes the
period of Divine judgment begun
on Rosh Hashanah. A special
observance is the Aravah--a
bundle of willow branches that
is carried around the synagogue.
