By Dr. Helen  Hirsch
For nearly 4,000 years, Jews all over the world have celebrated Succoth. Down the millennia, the manner of celehrationi has chang¬ ed according to the oountry and conditions peopie lived in; but the wiay of today's celebration in synagogues is similar to the original festival In ancient Pal¬ estine.

From a primitive agricultural festival, our religious leaders and prophets of old, elevated the festival from a feast of Joy and hilarity to a "holy convention" such ajs was Intejided when Moses proclaimed the holy festivals to the people saying; "Vou shall dwell in booths seven days''. (Lev¬ iticus XXm : 42).
THE SYMBOLS of Succoth as the Feast of Ingathering are the tour plants, the Lulav, the Eth- rog, the Myrtle and the Willow, which are taken to the synagogue and a blessing is recited over them since they represent the inexhaustible Wealth, variety and beauty of nature. They were created "to rejoice before God" (Leviticus XXni : 39-40). ack¬ nowledging nature gratefully as the wonderful creation of CJod.
Succoth is the only festival in our calendar known as the "Fes¬ tival of Joy" recalling the days of old when our ancestors were pioneers just as they are today in the Holy Land-
THE SEVENTH DAY is called
