Sukkot is coming!!
Sukkot means “booths” or “huts” and is the name given to the Jewish festival of giving thanks for
the fall harvest. The holiday has also come to commemorate the 40 years of wandering in the desert
after the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai. The holiday begins Monday night, Sept 20. We’ll have
our own Sukkah out on the patio for the entire week of the holiday. We’ll celebrate in the Sukkah
with blessings and a holiday lunch – be sure to make a reservation with Myra!
