This is our sukkah! We ate dinner there last night and will continue through for seven more nights. We are celebrating Feast of Tabernacles this week, also known as Sukkot. The Feast of Tabernacles is a joyous celebration. It is a time to remember the children of Israel dwelling in tents or booths as they trekked their way through the wilderness to the Promised Land. It is also a time for gathering in the harvest. We are to celebrate with praise and thanksgiving to God for the abundance he has blessed us with.
Sukkot is just one of the feasts of the Lord, that we are to keep as a statute forever throughout our generations. It is to be a reminder of past generations and also anticipation for a future life in which we will tabernacle with the Lord forever.
Jeff and I had a wonderful time enjoying our meal and admiring the beauty of it all with the candles all aglow. It was absolutely lovely eating dinner there under the stars.
