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.
This blog started during the recent conflict in Israel, in order to collect the videos showing what the main media was (purposely?) ignoring.
Now, it hopes to be a collection of all kind of cute, funny, interesting or thought provoking videos on Jewish holidays, traditions and history. Come and visit often, and don’t hesitate to propose a video :).
