Tonight is one of my personal favorite holidays. Sukkot, or as I like to call it, "A tribute to vegetarians and makeshift housing."

It's one of my happier memories, being all 8 years old and decorating a sukkah, it's just good ole fashion fun.

Plus I get to build stuff.

And it's a pizza night.

What's not to like?

For reflections on the holiday, I think of my camping knowledge and experience, and the new modern light weight, waterproof, and super small tent I carry in my pack does not compare to the incredible schlep one of these sukkahs must of been to dismantle, carry somewhere else and build up the next night.

No wonder it took 40 years to cross the wilderness.

Yay! I love Sukkot! I really want to put up a picture of my sukkah but Im too lazy. Tonight we're having some people over for dinner, But sorry we don't really go for the whole vegetarian thing (I didn't even know that was something with Sukkot) the menu includes a smoked turkey brest (OM nom nom) ,But it was cooked outdoors!

I know this may be a stupid question (and it's not sukkot related) but what does B"H mean? Elisheva always has it in her posts.

I believe she's abbreviating "BARUCH HASHEM" but I could be wrong.

The only stupid questions there are are the ones you dont ask smile
Thats awsome. We could not go to shull today and we caould not afford a Sukkah either but we were able to get a Lulav and Esrog. It is really cool we have not owned one in years.

I didn't go to shul today because they canceled the service due to apathy.

So, I had vegetarian food at an Indian place to fulfill the requirement of being "Happy" on Sukkot.

I don't remember ever having put up a sukkah. It's just something my family has never done. Its too cold in Britain, anyway...
I fulfilled the happiness part by eating some (beef!) ribs, which I never eat, giving myself a break from work, and chatting to my mates for a few hours. Happy enough for me!

So what do you make your Sukkah out of Neuf? My family got a Project Sukkah kit a couple of years ago. The only thing we had to get were the wood and decorations.
