An Hour at Mrs. Pransky's Sukkah (2005)

By Ben R. & Phillip K.

During Sukkot, on October 21, the 6th grade visited Mrs. Pransky’s Sukkah to celebrate the holiday with her family. We had lots of fun, played Sukkah Bingo and had some treats. We also learned about the Lulav and the Etrog. We found out that the Lulav (date palm frond) can be a symbol for a person’s spine, the Etrog (citron) looks like a heart, the leaves of the Hadassim (myrtle) resemble lips and the leaves of the Aravot (willow) are like eyes.  When people make a blessing over all of these things together, it’s like putting their whole being into the act.  We learned many things from this great Sukkot experience.
