Rabbi Hanan Sills leads Jewish Student Union and Hillel members in the
harvest festival decoration of the Sukkah in the EMU courtyard.
Students celebrate Sukkot
by building traditional booth
■ HOLIDAY: Jewish harvest
festival remembers the
Israelites’ escape from
slavery in Egypt
By Angle Suchy
Student Activities Reporter
To the Jewish population, corn
stalks, gourds, pumpkins and
dried corn represent more than
the annual campus recognition of
the Sukkot holiday.
“Commemorating a holiday
that is important to many stu
dents lets the entire campus know
that diversity exists within the
campus environment,” Jewish
Student Union director Micah
Citrin said. “There is definitely a
multicultural and pluralistic envi
ronment on this campus.”
The JSU and Hillel collaborated
to assemble and decorate a wood
framed Sukkah booth in the EMU
courtyard. After a short service,
members of the groups spent Fri
day night in the Sukkah to cele
brate the harvest festival, which
takes place 15 days after the start
of the Jewish New Year, Rosh
Hashana.
“We will probably be hanging
out in the Sukkah for the night
rather than sleeping,” Hillel Presi
dent Jennifer Dalton said. “Just
being in the booth marks tradi
tion.”
As JSU literature states, the
booth was constructed in remem
brance of the Israelites who were
freed from their enslavement in
Egypt. The Israelites wandered in
desert land, living in Sukkahs be
fore reaching Israel. An informa
tion sheet is posted on the Sukkah
that gives details of the nine-day
holiday.
Other similarities between the
booth and early Sukkahs include
the dried stalk roof and the dried
vegetables that symbolize grati
tude for the harvest.
“The Sukkot holiday is a har
vest festival, after all,” Citrin said.
