SUMMARY:Sukkot
DESCRIPTION:Sukkot is the final of the 3 harvest festivals and is celebrated by the building of a sukkah.  Our sukkah is a permanent wooden structure\, open to the skies\, so one can see the stars.  It is covered with laurel leaves\, many of which are taken from our own garden and were planted for that purpose. \nChildren and adults\, bring fruit and we hold a “Sukkah Decorating Event”\, where children draw pictures to decorate the sukkah\, usually of the Ushpizin\, spiritual guests\, who we invite to share our sukkah with us.  Adults string the fruit and together we decorate the sukkah. \nAt SPS\, instead of having one lulav (the four species mentioned in the Torah\, consisting of the myrtle\, the willow\, the palm branch and etrog\,) and an etrog (citron fruit)\, we buy a few which are passed around the congregation during the Hallel\, so that everyone can be part of this mitzvah. \nKiddush\, weather permitting\, is always held in the sukkah.

SUMMARY:Simchat Torah
DESCRIPTION:At Simchat Torah we offer the special mitzvah of finishing reading the Torah\, which ends with the death of Moses\, to either a Chatan (bridegroom) or Kallah (bride) of the Torah and immediately we start reading from the beginning of the Torah\, with the birth of creation\, again offering the mitzvah to either a Chatan or Kallah Bereishit. \nFollowing the Torah readings and Bible (evening service) or Haftorah (morning service)\, the Sifrei Torah are all taken from the Ark and paraded round the Synagogue\, at least seven times.  Everyone is encouraged to dance round the Synagogue with any of the Sifrei Torah\, some being quite small and light and others heavy.  No-one is excluded.  There is singing and dancing\, as this is a joyous festival\, and apples\, flags and sweets are distributed. \nAfter Kiddush in the Sukkah\, the fruit is distributed to those on site and the rest\, as long as it is in good condition\, is taken to one of the local care homes\, for the residents.  It has also been known for chutney to be made fromthe fruit that has gone soft!
