As you may have heard, during Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) violent clashes between Jews and Arabs erupted in the northern city of Acco . An Arab driver drove through a Jewish neighborhood during the holiday, offending the local population and igniting riots and backlashes. The driver claims he was driving his family back home, only passing through the Jewish part of town. Other eyewitnesses claim...

Today is Thanksgiving in Canada , and I thought back to a post I did on the subject a couple of years ago, Purged in the Plough: Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Thanksgiving & Harvest , which reflects on the convergence of various religious traditions for the harvest season, including reflection on the past year and resolve for the year ahead, as is found in Judaism at this time of year. I concluded that post...

I have to go on an all-day jaunt to pick up kosher food supplies -- in the closest civilized community, three hours away -- so I'd like to leave you with some encouragement not to lose heart, especially since I really pounded you this morning with a lot of bad news. I realize it's not Pesach season - in fact tonight begins the (Sukkot) "season of our joy" - but this story/joke/metaphor is timeless....

Ella Fitzgerald is in the speaker behind me. Singing in my ear. This morning I opened the doors of the house to the morning breeze, you know the one where it's cold enough for a cup of tea first thing, but warm enough that you can still just wear a t-shirt'.It's Sukkot. Out on our porch, P Bonez is revelling in the joys of being male and is building our sukkah. He explained to me earlier the amount...

Sunset in Maraval This evening marks the start of Sukkot. Traditionally harvest foods are eaten, as well as dishes that feature stuffed components. It is the theme of stuffed foods that really shaped my menu this year. Gooey enchiladas, and stuffed baked apples hopefully won’t disappoint In the past I have traditionally made cabbage rolls, [...]

Last night, the night before the Succot holiday, just a couple of days after Yom Kippur, what type of program did Israeli TV decided to broadcast? The focus was on how nice and sympathetic Israeli Arabs are. I couldn't stay in the same room. The Israeli Media is nothing more than a propaganda weapon, and it's used against us. They no longer even attempt to give a "balance." You almost never see the...

In 2005, I went to an Upper West Side singles event that took place in a sukkah. And this article, which previously ran in the Jewish Week, is the result. Since I've been so busy with the packing that blogging has become impossible, I thought I'd revisit this event in honor of Sukkot, which starts Monday night. Have a festive holiday, and enjoy this trip inside the temporary walls of...
