Earlier this week, there was an incredible display of artist-designed sukkot (plural of "sukkah") in Union Square in New York City. The exhibition/competition was organized by Reboot, a very cutting-edge organization dedicated to revitalizing Jewish cultural life and ritual.
My favorite part of "Sukkah City" is that the entries had to conform to the construction requirements for a sukkah established in Jewish law. This is something the ancient rabbis talked about a lot. The contest describes some of the more offbeat requirements here.
FOR DISCUSSION: Browse the Sukkah City entries. Leave a comment on this post, saying which one is your favorite and why.
I will start us off. I am very attracted to the simplicity and geometry of this sukkah. I admit, it does not look the most comfortable for sleeping.
Chag sameach!
These are very cool. How do we get the National Building Museum to bring these to DC next year...?
