Sukkot!

Sukkot is almost here!  A few suggestions for reading / listening / watching / learning:

A year ago I recorded a podcast comparing the Jewish tradition of building a Sukkah to the Christian tradition of putting up a Christmas tree.  I'm on a 'mission' to convert the holiday of Sukkot from a barely-observed American Jewish holiday to one of the biggest, most fun holidays we have!  Check out my podcast for details: http://yourjewishneighborhood.libsyn.com/yjn-206-09-26-10-decorating-your-home-sukkah-can-be-a-new-family-tradition

If you'd like to know how to shake the lulav and etrog for sukkot, here's some information:
