A SPECIAL SUKKAH EVENT 

SU . KAH [soo.kah]. noun. 
1. a temporary structure with a roof of leafy boughs, bamboo sticks, etc., built by Jews for a festival celebrating the fall harvest  2. an outdoor dwelling built to commemorate the desert huts of the wandering Israelites during the Exodus  3. a hut made with two full walls, and a third wall at least one handbreadth long.
 
[Note: The odd description of walls is meant to correspond to the human arm, which, if bent in all the right places, has two long sections, and a handbreadth. In so bending, one creates the effect of hugging oneself. Thus, a Sukkah is meant to symbolize the Divine hug.]  Now that you're in the know...
 
The Washington Society of the Jewish Deaf sends you this virtual hug as an invitation to a Sukkah Special Event.
