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)

- More Brooklyn Sukkahs at Satan’s Laundromat
