Educational Resources, Videos and a Cool Photo Gallery about Sukkot


Hi Everyone!

Sukkot is the Jewish holiday that commemorates how protective "Clouds of Glory" surrounded the Jewish people after leaving Egypt during the forty years of wandering in the desert. It also commemorates how the Jews lived in temporary dwellings during that same time.
Sukkot begins Sunday night, October 16, 2016.

All the links and resources below are posted on the Sukkot resources page at:
