[Avodah] Aliyah l'regel

[T613K at aol.com]

From: "Jonathan Baker" <jjbaker at panix.com>
>>And why is it  "aliyah l'regel" when the way the halacha is practiced
seems to be "aliyah  b'regel"?  Ascent to the foot?  The foot of  what?<<


 
>>>>>
I understand it not as "ascent to the regel" but "ascent /for/ the regel"  -- 
as one would say, "I'm going home for the holidays" not "I'm going home to  
the holidays."
