Where were you before you were born?

Cute as well as profound answers from children and grown-ups... Definitely food for thought coupled with an invitation to attend the upcoming JLI seminar on these questions: Soul Quest - starting next week.

Shlomit Bona Sukka - Song for Sukkot

A folk song for Sukkot, sung by Avi Peretz. The lyrics are underneath, transliteration and english translation. Enjoy!

SHLOMIT BONA SUKKAH 

SHLOMIT BONA SUKAT SHALOM 

Shlomit bonah sukah
mu'eret viy'rukah
al ken hi asukah hayom

mu'eret viy'rukah -
Shlomi bonah sukat shalom


Hi lo tish'kach lasim

Shlomit bonah/bantah sukat shalom!

SHLOMIT IS BUILDING A SUKKAH 

SHLOMIT IS BUILDING A SUKKAH OF PEACE 

Shlomit is building a sukkah
Full of light and greenery
That's why today she's so busy.
But it's not simply a sukkah
Full of light and greenery -
Shlomit is building a sukkah of peace ("sukkat shalom").

She will not forget to lay out
The lulav and the myrtle leaves (hadasim),
A branch of green willow,
a pomegranate within its leaves,
and all the fruits of autumn,
with its fragrance of orange groves.

And when Shlomit says
Look! It's already finished!
Suddenly something wondrous will happen:
all the neighbors will come,
it will be a swarm -
and there will be room for everyone!

Then, through the roof of branches,
With a bright glow as though it were a diamond
She will spot a star, saying:
-Shalom, wondrous sukkah,
how fine and how pleasing it is -
that Shlomit build a sukkah of peace.

Another high speed Sukka

Can you build a Sukka any faster?

The High holidays are over (as well as the looooong break this blog has taken) and we are in full preparations for Sukkot. Actually, it is customary, right after the end of Yom Kippur, to start building the sukkah, or at least speak about it, in order to start the New Year straight away with a Mitzvah.

Check out this very fast sukkah building:
