Chag sameach!

Happy Sukkot to everyone!  Today in the Etzim classroom, we ventured outside to the Temple's wonderful sukkah.  There we met Rabbi Jay with the lullav and the etrog in hand.  Rabbi Jay talked with us about sukkot, and lead us in reciting a blessing together.  Barukh atah Adonai, Eloheinu, melekh ha-olam asher kidishanu b'mitz'votav v'tzivanu leisheiv basukah.  


There were many decorations up in the sukkah already and it was looking marvelous.  We had many discussions about the decorations we saw including painted pumpkins, stars, paper chains and many other things! We are excited to start making our decorations in class tomorrow.  The Etzim children were so excited to be outside and in the sukkah, we can't wait to spend more time in both of them this week!
