Listen Later

In this episode Michele explains how the harvest festival Sukkot is about more than harvests and remembering the temporary booths Jews lived in during the desert wandering years. She compares the festival to Samhain and the Day of the Dead and explains how our sukkot are giant ancestor altars.

Key Takeaways:

  • Sukkot is a commemoration and veneration of our departed ancestors.
  • The sukkah is a life sized ancestor altar.
  • Traditional Judaism embraces inviting ancestors as ushpizin (guests).
  • Welcoming guests is a throwback to Abraham and Sarah.
