The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-10-12

Passover and the Feast of Weeks Each
of these was at the harvest time of some
particular crop. On these three occasions
the people from all over the land OF
Canaan would journey to the Holy City
and spend the festival there. This feast,
Succoth, known also as the Feast of In
gathering, was at the time of the gather
ing in of fruits. The booths therefore,
may be reminiscent of the booths erected
by the busy harvesters as temporary
dwellings in the field The palm branches
and the willows, the myrtle and the citron
still borne in procession around the
synagogue on this feast also suggest this
ancient harvest setting.
Succoth was the last of the three har-
vest festivals, and as it ushered in the
winter season when rain was needed for
next years crop, a water service was
held in the temple; and to this day the
prayers for the last day of cucco,n In
clubs special prayers for rain, which are
continued in the services until the time
when the spring harvest comes again
with the feast of Passover.
