</a><font size=3>Sukkos – for many, it’s summer’s last hurrah. Being
outdoors, hopefully in green, lush and warm (or not too cold)
surroundings. A pleasant return to nature before autumn really kicks in.
A great time to spend away from home, perhaps in a rural environment.
(Imagine spending Sukkos at a sleepaway camp or a bungalow colony…)
Sukkos is the singular Yom Tov when getting out of the city is truly
appealing and really seems like a must.<br><br>
But alas, I have been privileged to spend Sukkos for the past several
years in a heavy-duty urban environment – and I would not trade this
unique experience for most anything in the world.<br><br>
For us urbanites, Sukkos means schlepping our food and everything else to
a downstairs building courtyard sukkah or a shul sukkah; it means a lack
of privacy during meals; it means outside city noise as we eat, learn and
even sleep in the sukkah. Who needs it?<br><br>
On the contrary, the urban Sukkos experience has taught me so much about
Sukkos and Yom Tov in general, and it can incredibly enrich our
appreciation for the Moed (holiday period) and its important
values.<br><br>
