By now, most of you are probably very familiar with the Shiputzim family’s succah – whether it’s our loud and tacky bright and colorful stationary succah or our cool, cutting-edge succah on wheels.
But since every year, we make a point of not only rearranging the decorations in the former but also adding new ones, a few glimpses into this year’s succah are certainly in order.
(The advantage of having all the kids home from before Yom Kippur is that our succah was fully decorated by Sunday afternoon… :-))
As always, please feel free to click on the pictures for a closer view:
See something familiar in the second picture?
And, no, I’m not referring to this blog’s new icon. (Can you spot it?) I’m talking about something that’s connected to someone else’s blog.
Let’s zoom in for a better look:
Recognize this?
It’s a postcard with Leora's lovely watercolor of a pomegranate. (Don’t miss the rest of the paintings in her beautiful simanim series.)
Leora sweetly sent me the postcard (yes, even bloggers sometimes communicate via snail mail…) before Rosh Hashanah, and I couldn’t wait to hang it in our succah.
Thank you, Leora!
And now for my annual pre-Succot offer: If you still need aravot, please feel free to stop by TRLEOOB* until candlelighting and pick some. BA”H, we were privileged to have a bumper crop this year…
!חג שמח
May you and your families have a wonderful and joyous Succot!

Love it! We have aravot as well, and the tree looked lovely in the summer, but now it seems to think it's fall, and the leaves look feh. So much for growing a willow tree in our backyard.
ReplyDeleteI love your whole panel of decorations. Quite festive.
Leora - I remember a few years ago when you mentioned that you had planted an aravot tree. That's too bad that they didn't last until Succot this year. Moadim l'simchah!
