The Sukkah
 According
to halacha (Jewish law) a sukkah requires that the
top covering of branches, called s'chach, must let
in at most half of the available sun-light, creating
a majority of shade.
We use a bamboo
made epically for
Sukkot.
The dwelling in booths implied in Deuteronomy is (in
Leviticus) expressly commanded. The booths are given
a symbolic meaning, and are brought into relation
with the wandering in the wilderness: "so your
generations may know that I made the children of
Israel dwell in booths, when I brought them out of
the land of Egypt." |
