A Sukkah
A Sukkah is a temporary structure which can be made of wood or other materials with a roof covering of branches known as sechach. The holiday of Sukkot is celebrated on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei (this year beginning on the night of October 2 ending with Simchas Torah/ Shemini Atzeret – Oct 9 & 10). It is one of the three biblical pilgrim festivals, when it was traditional for Jews to visit the Temple in Jerusalem.
The intermediary days, known as Chol Chamoed are days when Israelis do no work. The Sukkah, as described above is a fragile dwelling in which the ancient Israelites dwelt during their 40 years of wandering in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt. Throughout the holiday the sukkah becomes the living area of the house, and all meals are eaten in it. On each day of the holiday, members of the household recite a blessing over the lulav and etrog, or Four species. The Four Species consist of * Lulav (לולב) – a ripe, green, closed frond from a date palm tree
* Hadass (הדס) – boughs with leaves from the myrtle tree
* Aravah (ערבה) – branches with leaves from the willow tree
* Etrog (אתרוג) – the fruit of a citron tree
Those who live outside the Land of Israel celebrate Sukkot for the first 2 days and then the last 2 days with fewer intermediary days in between.
Each night of Sukkot, we invite ushpizim or special guests into the Sukkah. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, Joseph and David are invited into the sukkah. Each of the ushpizin offers us valuable Torah lessons.
Recipes
Appetizer with Italian Flavors
Zucchini
Basil
Pine Nuts
Olive Oil
Garlic
Peel zucchini and slice into thin rounds. Use a small cookie cutter shape to make stars, circles, or other shapes. This is great for kids to do as well.
Toss in a bowl with olive oil, garlic and fresh basil. Place on a plate and garnish with pine nuts.
In many places, it is customary to decorate the Sukkah with strings of fruits, vegetables, pictures of ushpizim, and other pictures of a decorative nature.
Choco-Coconut Truffles
1/2 cup raw chocolate powder or 3/4 cup chocolate nibs ground finely in a blender 2 1/2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut 1/2 cup coconut butter 1/2 cup maple syrup (this is not raw, but adds a different sweet flavor) Combine the chocolate powder/ground nibs, shredded coconut, and mix well. If coconut butter is solid, place jar in a dehydrator or in warm water to soften. Add maple syrup and mix all ingredients together. Roll into small mounds and freeze for about 1 hour.
Kids will enjoy rolling these.
