We’ve shared a lot in the Shabbos House Sukkah over the years, some of it is Sukkot specific, some had broader inspirational messages. We’ll try to collect here a spectrum sampling of Sukkah and Lulav & Etrog messages. We’ll add some more to this list! 

This image is for our Sukkot t-shirts and the special Kiddush glasses for Sukkot & Simchat Torah 5783/2022 with words borrowed from Pharrell’s “Happy Song” but fitting indeed for a Sukkah and what it brings out in us! 

HERMAN SUKKAH DEDICATION

Our Sukkah and Sukkot holiday meals and programs are dedicated in memory of Dr. Herman Prins Salomon, professor at UAlbany who attended our prayer services, and was especially fond of all aspects of Sukkot – from the Sukkah itself, to a fine Italian Etrog, the Hoshanot prayers and more. See this post for more about the dedication and about Herman. May his memory be a blessing.
