Moon over Virginia 10-4-11
While working on our Sukkah, I took a picture of the moon just before night set in. Isha and I are still working on setting up our calendar. We are leaning toward calling this day the 8th day of the 7th month. That is a long conversation in and of itself. For the time being, consider this the official kick-off of our new blog. I am Ish and my wife is Isha. We are not quite gentile Christians and not quite Jewish either. We are in that strange outer boundary between two worlds. That too is a long conversation.
I would like to share my little project with you. We are preparing for the Feast of Tabernacles by building our own on our Virginia farm. I have decided to use naturally occurring materials for the structure. It is to be Eastern Cedar branches from our own land. I chose the cedar as it is abundant, aromatic and has the decided advantage of rot and pest resistance. I will be storing the various components and hope to enjoy many years of use.
Stay tuned for the details in the construction of my very first Sukkah on my second Feast of Booths.
