I remember my husband and son putting up our first sukkah. The excitement, the anticipation of sitting in our sukkah on our holy land. Using stones and bricks to make the land even, when it was so uneven. For us, that first night of Yom Yov, when we made Kiddush, was the most wonderful feeling in the world. Shana Tova. Gmar Chatima Tova.

He even used to put up a quite lovely sukkah (from scratch) in Baltimore. It's the eyeballing of the stray wood, willing it to be hefker, that is new to us. Though -- without the cedars of Lebanon readily available -- this experience may be the same for Israeli city dwellers. I'll wait for their Sukkot posts to find out.rutimizrachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809119908148195009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873285922620200649.post-14303692438397127462008-10-05T14:52:00.000+02:002008-10-05T14:52:00.000+02:00You don't have to be a settler to want to put up a...You don't have to be a settler to want to put up a sukkah from scratch....rickismomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07817042750959998664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873285922620200649.post-70767138725893968822008-10-05T10:47:00.000+02:002008-10-05T10:47:00.000+02:00I also have seen the "You may be a settler if..." ...I also have seen the "You may be a settler if..." list and I love it. As for sukkah parts, as a fellow "Tightwad Gazette" fan and dumpster diver, I certainly understand the disappointment when something disappears. I wish you all good hunting in this important endeavor.<BR/>Lisalisacathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900756895984436500noreply@blogger.com
