Words of Wisdom for Shabbat and Sukkot

On this, the second day of Sukkot, please enjoy these words from Arthur Waskow...
"We walk into the sukkah - the fragile field hut, open to the light of moon and stars, that our forebears lived in while they gathered in the grain. We dangle apples and onions, oranges and peppers, from its leafy roof. And we feel the joy that for a moment life is so safe, the world so loving, that we can live in these open-ended huts without fear."
From Seasons of Our Joy.

"Blessed are You, Adonai, Guardian of Israel, whose shelter of peace (Sukkat Shalom), is spread over us, and over all Your people Israel, and over Jerusalem."
