SUCC0TH
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ

copyright 1949, Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, Inc.)
Today Succoth seems more
realistic to us when we recall
the fact that many thousands of
Jews in Israel are living like
their ancestors did-in books.
According to the Midrash, ia
cob was the first to observe the
festival of Succoth. Jacob had a
second name, Israel. AS / recall
there is a Midrashic story of ia
cob having once fallen asleep and
during that sleep all the land of
Palestine folded up under him.
The implications of the story
are plain. Somehow the Jewish
people and their land are asso-
ciated more closely with Jacob
than with any of the other par
ticulars and I think. as we read
the Biblical story. we can SYM
pathize with this feeling.
Jacob is the only patriarch who
has two names. First, he is ia
cob, then he becomes Israel.
