| Sukkot is a harvest festival originating during the time when the Israelites lived in the wilderness in temporary dwellings called sukkahs. |
|
| For years, Sapo said he and other rabbis made their sukkahs out of plywood, which was heavy and awkward. |
|
| During the annual Sukkot holiday, devout families recreate the nomadic experience of their ancestors by erecting sukkahs in back gardens and on balconies. |
|
| The flames quickly spread to the adjoining closely packed sukkahs and then through the wiring running up the exterior of the building into a number of apartments. |
|
| The sukkahs reminded them of the shelters they had set up in the desert. |
