Description
Sukkot
Sukkot is a week-long harvest holiday. Historically, it was when the
final harvests of the summer were gathered before the rains began.
Families would build temporary booths near the fields so that they
could live and work in the fields for the time of the harvest. The booths
also symbolize the forty-year period during which the children of Israel
were wandering in the desert following their exodus from slavery in
Egypt, living in temporary shelters. The word “Sukkot” means “booths,”
and refers to the temporary dwellings that Jewish people traditionally
build during this holiday in memory of the period of wandering.
Orchim LeHag – words by Levin Kipnis, music by Mark Warshavski
This song celebrates the “four species” of plants that are traditionally
celebrated during Sukkot. These four species appear in this song as guests
coming to visit in the Sukkah, because having guests join us for
meals in the Sukkah is another tradition. The four species are: Lulav, (palm
branches), aravah, (willow branches), hadas, (myrtle branches) that are
tied together, and the etrog, (from the lemon family) that is held. For
toddlers, show the lulav and etrog, either through pictures or with
actual items. For ages 4 and up, have children standing in a circle and
do the following motions.
We have a holiday, children come and help me sing! (Clap hands)
A guest is coming to our Sukkah – (Stomp feet)

We will celebrate the hag, with hadas, etrog, lulav, (Clap, then pantomime items)
