DAVIDSON – The religious school of the Lake Norman Jewish Congregation gathered Sept.<br />
19 at Davidson College in front of the community- and Hillel-sponsored Sukkah to hang the<br />
first decorations in preparation for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, which began Sept. 22.<br />
Sukkot is an autumn holiday celebrated for seven days, beginning on the 15th day of the<br />
Jewish month of Tishrei. It falls on the fifth day after Yom Kippur, the Day of Repentance. The<br />
origins of Sukkot can be found in the Bible, where the Israelites made an annual sacred pilgrimage<br />
to the Temple in Jerusalem to offer the first fruits of their autumn harvest, in thanks<br />
to God.<br />
Sukkot, “the Feast of Booths,” also recalls how God protected the Israelites while they<br />
wandered in the Sinai Desert, living in temporary huts, as they made their way from slavery in<br />
Egypt to the Promised Land of Israel.<br />
The offices of the congregation are located at 209 Delburg St., suite 108, Davidson. Call 704-<br />
987-9980 for more information.<br />
