Barbecue Beef Brisket, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn
On Chuck & Tiffany’s Evite I wasn’t sure what the Jewish terms “shalom”, “sukkah”, “manischewitz”, or “mohel” meant, but all they really needed to say to get me to their Sukkah celebration was “alcohol” and “barbecued beef brisket”! It was great to see a lot of people that I hadn’t seen for a while.. and to meet a few new ones. The traditional Jewish/kosher/Sukkah food was delish.. knishes, brisket, stuffed cabbage, mulled wine, and apple crisp were the highlights. “Rabbi” Larry did the Jewish blessing and also gave us the history of the Sukkah celebration. Below are some video clips from his blessing/lesson:
- Larry explains the Sukkah structure, (.mov, 564k)
- Sukkah is after Yom Kippur, (.mov, 604k)
- Larry explains which foods are to be eaten inside the Sukkah, (.mov, 528k)
- Prayer with the Four Species (etrog, palm branch, willow branches, and myrtle branches), (.mov, 692k)

Larry, I am so glad that Nick and Madhu got a chance to eat in your sukkah. I teach pre school at Temple Sinai in Denver and our class had lunch and snack in our temple Sukkah. Every year we go and decorate the Sukkah at the Children’s hospital.

yes, i think nick and madhu did actually eat inside the sukkah.. i ate at the patio table outside the sukkah. .. and i ate those things that larry explicitly told us were to be eaten inside the sukkah. the sukkah just wasn’t big enough for all of us! next year chuck needs to build a bigger sukkah, or more than one!
let’s see how many times i can say “sukkah” in one comment!!!! (hey, it’s a new word for me.. i like to say it!!!)

Hi Rachelle, looks like an interesting and good time at the Sukkah celebration.
I might be speaking out of turn here, but as a goy from upstate (Rochester) NY who has lived in the NY area for the past 20 years I must say to an attractive Midwestern gentile girl like yourself. Becareful about getting involve romantically with a Jewish fellow, you will be taking on many many levels of issues in the relationship.
