	MyJewishLearning.com - Holidays: Sukkah
		A sukkah under a roof is not a valid sukkah, nor is it valid to have a sukkah underneath, say, the overhang of a balcony.
		The rationale for this is that where to stay in the sukkah is uncomfortable, the obligation is set aside and in colder climes it is certainly uncomfortable in autumn to sleep outside in the sukkah.
		Following the general tendency to connect the ancient seasonal festivals with events in the history of Israel, the reason for the sukkah as stated in Leviticus is to remind Jews of the booths in which the children of Israel dwelt during their journey through the wilderness.

		A Sukkah is the huts that Moses and the Israelites lived in as they wandered the desert for 40 years before they reached the Promised Land.
		The walls of the Sukkah should not be taller than 35 feet (960 cm) in height or shorter than 35 inches (80 cm).
		Once the structure is built family members decorate the interior of the sukkah by hanging fruit and vegetables, such as apples, grapes, corn, and pomegranates, from the roofing branches.

	Informat.io on Sukkah
		The sukkah is reminiscent of the type of huts in which the ancient Israelites dwelt during their 40 years of wandering in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt, and reflects God's benevolence in providing for all their needs in the desert.
		According to Halakha, a sukkah is a structure consisting of 2 1/2, 3, or 4 walls with a roof made of an organic material which has been disconnected from the ground (the s'chach).
		According to the Mishnah tractate Sukkah, "He who has not seen the rejoicing at the Place of the Water-Drawing has never seen rejoicing in his life." Throughout Sukkot, the city of Jerusalem teemed with Jewish families who came on the holiday pilgrimage and joined together for feasting and Torah study.

	Judaism 101 - Sukkah - A Glossary of Basic Jewish Terms and Concepts - OU.ORG
		Sukkah - (pl. "Sukkot"); the decorated hut which the Jewish People is commanded to construct for temporary use (for more on this "temporariness, see Southern Hospitality) during the Holiday of (you guessed it) "Sukkot", and to live in it, as much as possible as one would live in one's permanent house, during the Holiday.
		Another construction element of the "Sukkah" besides the "Sechach," are the "defanot," the walls.
		The existing walls of the "Sukkah," two, three or four in number, may be made of any material, but must be sufficiently strong to remain standing in an "average wind," not such as you would find at the top of Mt. Washington (where the highest wind velocity ever recorded, 231 M.P.H., was measured).

	Sukkah 2000 / 5760
		The Sukkah is usually decorated with gourds, indian corn, or fruits that hang from the latticed roof or drawings of the harvest that are taped to the walls.
		The Sukkah's are reminiscent of the huts used by farmers who worked in the fields to finish accumulating the fruits of the final produce of the Fall.
		While a Sukkah (hut) is symbolic of rootless transience and impermanance, the lulav and etrog (the four species) are symbolic of the opposite - the permanance of orchards and fertility (a phallic lulav and a feminine etrog).

	Sukkah
		Sukkah is the harvest festival of Judaism and a time when we reconnect with nature.
		There are many traditional sukkah decorations but some of these involve a heavy wasting of food — e.g., stringing together berries, hanging fruit, etc. Not only is this a waste of food, it is also a sure way to attract unwanted bees and hornets to the sukkah.
		If you make other natural sukkah decorations, contact us and let us know what you're making so we can alert others who would find great pleasure in making and using them as well.

		Then I ask everyone to sit in the sukkah with his or her eyes closed and to try to feel God surrounding them.
