Annual reminder that if your neighbor is suddenly building a shed or a big tent in their backyard for no apparent reason, that is not a sudden disregard for zoning laws and they are not attempting to piss off your homeowners association. They are Jews.
Leave them alone, it’ll come down in two weeks.
This has been a PSA.

The et-'rog אתרוג, also known as the citron fruit, holds a special place in the Jewish festival of Sukkot.
This bright yellow, lemon-like fruit is one of the Four Species (taught in yesterday's post) carried and waved during the Sukkot rituals, symbolizing the unity of the Jewish people.
Its unique fragrance and bumpy, textured skin make it instantly recognizable.
Traditionally, great care is taken in selecting the perfect et-'rog. It should be free from blemishes, with a natural, unbroken pee-'tom (the fruit's stem end) and a pleasing aroma.
The fruit embodies both beauty and imperfection, much like life itself.
Some believe the Etrog represents the heart, indicating that devotion and internal virtue are central to observing Sukkot.
As you hold and wave the et-'rog in combination with other species we will cover in the following days — you are engaging in an age-old practice that not only honors tradition but also unites you with others around the world.
It's a tangible reminder of the agricultural roots of the festival and the bounty that the Earth provides.
This Sukkot, whatever your background and belief system is, take a moment to appreciate your connection to your faith, your community, and the cycles of nature.

Happy Sukkot
It's my favorite Jewish holiday! (well tonight it will be!) Sukkot! For any Goyim, non-Jews reading this most likely you've never ever heard of this Jewish holiday because it's not close to Christmas or one of the big 3 Jewish holiday so let me explain.
Sukkot also called Tabernacles (maybe that rings a bell for the Christians) is a Jewish harvest festival set in a time of year when Israelites would have brought in the harvest.
to celebrate for a week (this year it's sundown October 9th through sun down October 17th, if you're outside of Israel, which I am) you eat outside.
okay it's a little more complex, you build a hut, a booth called a sukkah (sukkot is the plural) traditionally it should be made of palm fronds etc but around the world people kinda make do, but the roof should be made of plant matter, the walls and floor less of a problem.
here are some examples

If you live in an area with a large Jewish community you may have noticed the symbol of the holiday, you may have seen Jewish gentlemen walking by with what look like very large lemons, they aren't lemons

It's an Etrog, it is a citrus fruit, but its not a lemon. Together with the branch of a willow, myrtle, and a frond of a palm (called, Aravah, Hadass, and Lulav respectively) Jews during Sukkot wave them about their sukkah

so Chag Sameach! (happy holiday) and enjoy these Rabbis looking at Etrog

I found this little beauty while having lunch in the sukkah among a bunch of preteens literally making paper chains. The laugh I let out 😂

This is one of the beautiful sukkahs made by the Bnei Menashe, the Jews of Mizoram, a state in the northeast of India.
