Holiday Of Thanksgiving

There are few holidays which are more beautl-
full, which carry more Importance to family warmth
and meaning, than the holiday of Sukkos which we
are now celebrating.
Sulkkos is a holiday of thanks to CD for his
care for his care of our people whom he pro-,
tected when they lived in Sukkas or tents during 4O
years of wandering toward the Promised Land
1t is a celebration much like our Thanksgiving
Day, which the Pilgrims first observed as model
of the Jewish Sukkos The Pilgrims gave thanks for
their bonteous harvests and in fact after Palestine
was settled, Sukkos also became time of gratitude
for the autumn harvest. g..
1t is wonderful family tradition to build Suk-
ka in the backyard and to partake Of meals in the
gaiIy-decorated BOOTH ..... -. ~. 49,
Sukkos is another traditonaly great holiday of
our people.
