Happy Sukkot!

Chag Sameach! We are currently celebrating Sukkot, the Feast of the Tabernacles, where Jews traditionally build Sukkot or booths to "dwell" in for seven days like the Israelites wandering in the desert.

Here are some pictures of how Jews in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, celebrate Sukkot. Look at these pictures then compare them to where you live and how you celebrate the holiday. Look at things like dress, weather, where the sukkahs are placed, how people prepare for the holiday.Now look at these pictures from Sukkot in Jerusalem. And compare Brooklyn and Jerusalem to how your life.

Have a wonderful holiday!
