Our sukkah is gorgeous, and the weather is unseasonably nice right now, so eating outside in it is practical and pleasant.

Sukkot is a holiday of rejoicing, so I'd like to invite anyone who's stressed out to come by to sit in it and de-stress. If I'm around, I can lend you our lulav and etrog to shake if you like, or, if it's close to a mealtime, I'll make you a sandwich or something. But even if I'm not, it's really just a nice spot to sit and think and relax.

Especially if you're stressed and/or depressed like a lot of us are. You are all welcome.

I need to figure out a better way to attach the big sign I wrote up and stapled to the outside of the sukkah, facing the street. It fell down again.

It says,

This is our "Sukkah" for the Jewish holiday of "Sukkot", as described in Lev. 23:33-44 (. . . ) "And you shall REJOICE before the LORD". If you would like to celebrate with us, or have any questions, ring the top doorbell. Guests are an important part of the holiday!"

I might just do that, but I don't know where you are.

We're in Melrose, on Main Street, just north of Franklin Street, two or three blocks north of Lynn Fells Parkway. We're across the street from Gray's Hardware, and two doors down from the building with the barbershop, antique shop, and dry cleaners. We're the one with a sukkah in the front yard.

Thanks! I don't guarantee to drop by this weekend, but I may.

We don't guarantee to be home -- my sister's in town from Florida, and she and I will be going up to Vermont to visit our niece and nephew and their parents at some point, and I'm also teaching Hebrew school. But you are welcome whether or not anyone else is home.
