Outside my sukkah
Here is a picture of our sukkah from the outside. Isn’t it picturesque? Wouldn’t you love to spend a week there? Can you picture cups of cocoa, a flickering campfire, Scripture studies, songs, and fellowship? But as you walk down the hill and get a little closer, you will hear a baby crying, sore cranky […]
Off to Sukkot!
It’s that time of year again. We are very anxious to get out to our Sukkah again! This is our fifth year keeping the Feast of Tabernacles. It is really hard to believe that we have been blessed by the truths of Torah for that long. We have grown in many ways, and have discovered […]

Shabbat Shalom!
Wow, we are only a few hours from sunset! I have had a wonderful day. I made a list and managed to get everything done. I tried really hard to set the mood, which I often overlook due to time constraints. I put a tablecloth out, set the table early, put music on, etc. Everyone […]
