[ha-Safran] Educational Resources and Cool Videos about Sukkot

[Jacob Richman]

Hi Everyone!

Sukkot is the Jewish holiday that commemorates how protective 
"Clouds of Glory" surrounded the Jewish people after leaving 
Egypt during the forty years of wandering in the desert. 
It also commemorates how the Jews lived in temporary dwellings 
during that same time. 
Sukkot begins Sunday night, September 27, 2015.

All the links and resources below are posted on the 
Sukkot resources page at:
