Krewe du Mishigas

Sukkah 5764/2004

Ellen and John celebrating Sukkah with friends from the Krewe and others from New Orleans area synagogues.

It's the only sukkah on the north shore with a disco ball and a lulav made out of Mardi Gras beads!
 We celebrated with a bucket of margaritas and home made challah, among other things!

The word "Sukkot" means "booths," and refers to the temporary dwellings that we are commanded to live in during this holiday. The name of the holiday is frequently translated "The Feast of Tabernacles," which, like many translations of technical Jewish terms, isn't terribly useful unless you already know what the term is referring to. The Hebrew pronunciation of Sukkot is "Sue COAT."

A Sukkah must have at least three walls covered with a material that will not blow away in the wind. Canvas covering tied or nailed down is acceptable and quite common in the United States . A Sukkah may be any size, so long as it is large enough for you to fulfill the commandment of dwelling in it. The roof of the sukkah must be made of material referred to as sekhakh (literally, covering).
