Sukkot of Our Ancestors




Did you ever wonder where the idea of a sukkah comes from? Ask the children in Gan Bet and they will take you on a journey back to our past! The children in Gan Bet pretended to be Bnei Yisrael in the midbar, as they carried lumber, walls for temporary houses, sticks, and even the Torah on a long journey. They followed ananim, large pillars of cloud, just as Bnei Yisrael did, watching the position of the clouds to signal times for rest and travel. They truly understood the need for such temporary houses and understood the hard work that the Jewish people must have had to do each time they set up camp.
