Tomorrow night begins the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, which is one of my favorites. It is a holiday to celebrate the fall harvest by basically building huts in our backyard like the Jewish farmers used to. The sukkah, or hut like structure must be built following these guidelines: it needs three walls (made of any material), and a roof made of organic material that you can see the stars through at night (ie: tree branches). This amazing project called Sukkah City in New York, had an architectural design contest to build modern interpretations of these ancient dwellings. I wish I was there to see these, they are brilliant!!
