And, if being reminded of your 6th grade diorama isn’t enough of an incentive, then what about the 6,000 NIS grand prize for organizations or 2,000 NIS shekels for individuals! If your mind is drawing a blank and you want to get into the sukkot spirit, see how Jerusalemites get down with their lulav and etrog, in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC4IVe61p-0 Maybe it will get your creative etrog juices flowing…
But don’t sit around thinking for too long, the deadline for submitting your sukkah is Friday, September 11, 2009.
Make sure to read the directions closely, since you need to submit descriptions of your creation, the meaning behind it, and the building process you went through. Unfortunately, the instructions on the Beit Avi Chai website are only in Hebrew, but I’m sure you’ll be able to find a Jew on the street who can help you out.
The winning pieces will be displayed the week of Sukkot and the following week as well.
