Agenda

Building a sukkah

Activity organized on occasion of the "14th European Day of Jewish Culture" and the "European Heritage Days" 2013

Saturday, September 28,

Call de Girona

The Jewish holiday of Sukkot is coming. It is the Feast of Tabernacles. It is one of the biblical festivals and celebrates the end of the farming cycle with the grape and the olive harvests.

During seven days, jewish families live inside the sukkah, a structure built with plants and leaves in the balconies, courtyards or gardens of the houses to remember the pilgrimage of their nomad forefathers.
