I’ll tell Netanyahu where he can put his lulav.

This is the whey.

Ann Radcliffe eating hard cheese right before bed to give herself nightmares, Stoker claiming Dracula was the result of a nightmare induced by a “too generous helping of dressed crab,” let’s go back to the golden age of eating incredibly rich food before bed to create horror literature

TL:DR - King and High Priest Alexander Yannai insulted the Pharisees by pouring the Sukkot water libation at his feet instead of on the altar, and the people were so furious they threw their citrons at him.

From his Wikipedia page.

I want to urge anyone interested in FRANKENSTEIN to see it at a theater where the big screen will let you bask in the visuals. And do it soon after the movie opens (Oct. 17) because I don't think Netflix plans a long stay in cinemas.

Radical idea, then & now.

The ancient Jews THREW their etrogim at the terrible king/High Priest Alexander Yannai.

Sukkot is such a special holiday to me; I think we don’t appreciate how many Jewish practices are low-key ancient religious syncretism and that, in holding them and protecting them, we are in fact preserving the last threads of folk religions that no longer exist and haven’t for millennia

Chag Sukkot Sameach, New Yorkers!

Sukkot is a wonderful reminder of our wanderings and our shared fragility—and that the only way through is solidarity.

Chag Sukkot Sameach!

And also happy first day of new job to Rosa!

Love the lady's blue hat!

Never forget that Dolly Parton gave a million bucks for covid research at the *very start* of the pandemic—including money that helped fund the development of the Moderna vaccine.

These hurtful, threatening times fill me with sadness and anger. But I will not let my anger make me cruel or unfeeling, especially towards those I hold dear. Our enemies have not earned our kindness, but nor have they earned the right to strip us of ours.

Rabbi Akiva: “God only created the universe for the sake of music and song.”

Valid tbh.

Don’t worry everyone, Rabbi Akiva says the end of days isn’t for another 308 years. 😉

Rabbi Akiva says that after the resurrection, God will teach us the secret passcode to creating new worlds and cool people will each get to create 340 worlds.

Are we sure we didn’t go through it already? 🤣

Dear G-d, please send a refuah shleimah to Dolly, daughter of Avie.

What People Named Their Cats in the Middle Ages: Gyb, Mite, Méone, Pangur Bán & More 'The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,' declares the opening poem in Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot. But the possibilities are many and varied:

For Sukkot, one traditional practice is to welcome supernatural guests known as ushpizin. It makes for a valuable opportunity for reflection.

On the first night, the guests are Abraham and Sarah, who represent Chesed, kindness. It is said that their tent was open on all sides to welcome guests.

This Sukkot: Consider the Extinction of Animals, Climate Change, & Shiluach Ha’Kan We leave the comforts of our homes to live in sukkot (huts) to humble ourselves and to reconnect with our existential core in nature.

Sukkot is a time to celebrate peace, embrace nature, and reflect on our place in the world.
Together, let's build a more peaceful world, one sukkah and one vegan meal at a time. Chag Sameach! shamayim.substack.com/p/this-sukko...

A small sukkah is illuminated from within with autumnal string lights and leaf cut-outs and papel picado flags. It is on a deck, about 20 feet above the ground. Behind it, a tall conifer stands alongside the full moon of Sukkot.

May there be joy in our #Sukkot, even in a year like this one. Especially in a year like this one. (Hey everbody, show me your #sukkah! I love seeing other people's sukkot all over the world.) #ZmanSimchateinu
