Sukkot at the Airport
Spirituality in the air
Sukkot, known as the
Festival of Ingathering or in
some translations the Festival
of Shelters, is a biblical
Jewish holiday.
Sukkot celebrates the
gathering of the harvest
and commemorates the
miraculous protection
God provided for the children
of Israel when they
left Egypt. Sukkot in celebrated
by dwelling in
a foliage-covered booth
(known as a sukkah) and
by blessing ceremony of
the lulav (palm) and etrog
( citron).
The Sukkot tent at JFK
was neatly tucked into an
outside corner of Terminal
4 away from the tens of
thousands of travelers passing
by each day. Rabbi Yosef
Rapp of the Chabad of the
Airport presided over the
habitation bringing those
of the Jewish faith traveling
inside the Sukkah for
holiday refreshments and
blessing.
Rabbi Korenblit of the
Terminal Synagogue, the
Port authority Rabbi Mendi
and friends of the Rabbi
joined in the festive occasion
and shared in the spiritual
and joyful autumn
event.
