The Seven Ushpizin of Sukkot
Chag Sameach dear Readers! Last year, after the Feast of Tabernacles, I wrote about the passing of a dear friend and my experience in Israel. I promised an article on the seven ushpizin (figurative guests/visitors) of one’s sukkah because a large part of what was so awesome, was: “The Seven Shepherds” Painting by Kisha Gallagher 2018 how the Father tied this traditional theme with my sister to…

Why should we only have male ushpizin when there are plenty of female ancestors to admire?

The Madrigals and Sukkot
Sukkot* begins tomorrow evening and I AM EXCITE. But also, thinking about how awesome the holiday would be for the Madrigals...
Like, Isabela growing plants and flowers to help decorate the sukkah. Luisa making the building process a snap. Antonio drawing cute pictures to hang on the walls of the sukkah and sitting in it with his animal friends.
The triplets celebrating their birthday, especially when the holiday falls near or even on the day. Dolores enjoying the fresh air and stars. Mirabel going all in and nerdy about the ushpizin tradition. Camilo shaking the lulav and etrog and probably making inappropriate jokes about their symbolism.
All the delicious autumn food, seasonal Colombian fare.
I love Sukkot. 🍋🌿
*Jewish holiday lasting for seven (or eight) days. We build temporary “booths” (huts) to eat, and sometimes sleep, in. And take a citron and a bunch of fronds and shake them all around.

Jewish Holiday: Sukkot
Tumblr media
Five days after Yom Kippur, is the holiday called Sukkot. Sukkot is from the 15th day of Tishrei to the 21st day of Tishrei. It is named for the booths or huts (Sukkot in Hebrew) where Jews are supposed to dwell during a week-long celebration. It is meant to symbolize the huts that the Israelites lived in while wandering the desert for 40 years. Sukkot is one of three pilgrimage festivals (chaggim or regalim) of the Jewish calendar. This is the only holiday that seems to not commemorate a historic event. History of Sukkot Sukkot originated from an ancient autumnal harvest festival. It is often referred to as hag ha-aif, "The Harvest Festival." The imagery of the holiday and ritual of the holiday revolves around rejoicing and thanking G-d for the completed harvest. The sukkah represents the hut that farmers would live in during the harvest. In other festivals whose origins are not Jewish, the Bible reinterpreted the festival to imbue it with Jewish meaning. Sukkot commemorates the wanderings of the Israelites in the desert after the reveal at Mount Sinai, with huts representing the temporary shelters that they lived in for 40 years. Sukkot at Home Many popular rituals of Sukkot are practiced at home. As soon as Yom Kippur ends, the sukkah is normally put up. The Sukkah is a flimsy structure with at least three sides. The roof is made from thatch, branches, or palm fronds. This provides some shade and protection from the sun. It also allows the stars to be seen at night. It is traditional to decorate the sukkah, usually with fruit and crafts. Meals are normally eaten in the sukkah, weather-providing. Some people opt to sleep in the sukkah, it really depends on the climate or how tough you are. In a welcoming ceremony called ushpizin, ancestors are symbolically invited to partake in the meals with us. In commemoration of the bounty of Israel, we hold and shake the lulav and etrog. The lulav is made from palm, myrtle, and willow. The etrog is also called a citron. Sukkot in the Community Services play an important role in the communal celebration of Sukkot. In addition to special festive readings, including Psalms of praise (Hallel) on Sukkot, additional prayers are included to ask G-d to save us (hoshana, from where we get the English word hosanna). During the Hoshana prayers, congregants march around the synagogue sanctuary holding the lulav and etrog. Yom Tov The first two days are called Yom Tov. These are the only days where work is forbidden, candles are lit in the evening and festive meals are preceded with Kiddush and include challah dipped in honey. Hol Hamoed (Intermediate days of ) Sukkot During these days of Sukkot, one is allowed to pursue normal activities. Sukkot is a working holiday. At the same time, they are supposed to hold and wave the lulav and etrog on a daily basis, eat one's meals in the sukkah and continue to live in the sukkah for the remainder of the holiday. The Final Two Days The last two days (one day in Israel) of Sukkot is called Simchah Torah or Shemini Atzret. Simchah Torah is when the last Torah portion is read right before the first one. The Torah tells us after seven days of Sukkot, we should celebrate the eighth day. The highlight of this holiday is the boisterous singing and dancing in the synagogue, as the Torah scrolls are paraded in circles around the bimah. sources: https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/4784/jewish/What-Is-Sukkot.htm https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/sukkot-101/ Read the full article

Painted Sukkah boards, Szeged, Hungary, late 19th or early 20th century
Seven of the nine boards feature the figures of the Ushpizin in contexts with which they are associated. The others depict Temple implements: the seven-branched candelabrum and the Levites’ washing basin. These two boards may have been added to the series in the belief that the Ushpizin will be present at the advent of the Messiah and the construction of the Third Temple.

Miriam Looking For a Well
Miriam Looking For a Well
In memory of Landra Kerekes June 13th, 1972 – October 9th, 2022 This post contains a lot of photographs, so my writing might appear oddly broken up by them on mobile devices. This year, I had the pleasure of being in the Land of Israel during Sukkot (2022). But for the first time, my heart was torn about going. This was especially surprising since Covid had prevented me from traveling since my…

Lent movie review #1: USHPIZIN
Lent movie review #1: USHPIZIN
We launched this year’s Friday Night Mandatory Lent Film Party last week with the Israeli movie Ushpizin (2004). Before I say anything else, I recommend this movie if you are cold. This is one of the sunniest films I have ever seen. There’s nothing flashy about the way the movie is filmed, but you absolutely feel like you’re in the blazing hot streets of old Jerusalem. You could warm your hands…

To celebrate Sukkot starting this evening here’s the film Ushpizin (Ha-Ushpizin)
“Moshe and Mali Bellanga are an impoverished, childless, Hasidic baalei teshuva ("returnees to Judaism") couple in the Breslov community in Jerusalem. After Moshe is passed over for a stipend he expected, they cannot pay their bills, much less prepare for the upcoming Jewish holiday of Sukkot.
Moshe admires a particularly beautiful etrog, or citron, one of the four species required for the holiday observance. They console themselves by recalling a saying of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov that difficult times are a test of faith. After some anguished prayer, they receive an unexpected monetary gift on the eve of the holiday[2] and Moshe buys the etrog for 1000 shekels (approx. $300), a large sum of money that is much more than he can afford.
The couple is visited by a pair of escaped convicts, one of whom knew Moshe in his earlier, non-religious life. The convicts become their guests (ushpizin) in the sukkah, creating many conflicts and straining Moshe and Mali's relationship.”
