For your consideration

As requested, here are some pictures of sukkot from around town. We (S, Yule, and I) went on a little odyssey around town to get some pictures for everyone, before other people showed up for dinner. We did, however, forget to get a picture of our own sukka until it was too dark, and as I own neither a camera nor a camera phone (these pictures were taken on S's phone), I need to wait for her to come back up to the B-more to take the picture. But one is forthcoming, so not to worry.


This is the one at the strip mall. The stores on either side are both kosher resaurants, one is meat and one is dairy.


This one, when S got out of the car to take the picture, the guy came out of his house to tell her that his dog wouldn't bite her. But we also think he found her crazy, because she was taking a picture of his sukka on her phone.




And these three are all the sukka at our old school. It's off the back of the cafeteria, so the kids can eat lunch there from school. It used to be bigger when we went to school there, before they built the new auditorium. That got built in the courtyard where the cafeteria opens to, so that cut into the space available. Many of the decorations are made by students. The decorations on the back wall there include the decorations from the nursery school kids, one of whom is S's and my cousin. His is clearly the best semi-circle piece of paper colored in yellow to look like a banana.

Cool--thanks for going on a special trip and posting these!

I was watching a rerun of the sitcom "30 Rock" today, and this happened:

One of the employees on the show was renegotiating his contract with his boss (Alec Baldwin's character). One of the employee's demands was that he get all the Jewish holidays off.

Boss's counteroffer: "Only one Jewish holiday off--what's that one where you go in the tent?"

Employee: "Sukkot."

That was the only one he got. It was funny.
