The Feast of Tabernacles.

My dear Friends
Recently the Jewish community celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles. It was a very joyful occasion and I met many of my old Friends who seemed pleased to see me. At the end of the service the story of Creation was read out and different people were called up to receive a blessing. We also danced with Torah scrolls and the children came up also to receive a blessing.My friend Jane Liddell King who writes for the Jewish chronicle was there and together we prayed and sang.

Altogether an interesting time and one which recalls the dwelling of the children of Israel in booths in the wilderness.People erect booths and sit in them, having decorated them with fruits and flowers.

Shalom for now
