We are having the most rainy Sukkot I can remember. It's very rare that it actually rains here in this time of the year.
My neighbors are having a great Sukkot. The weather here is PERFECT for sleeping out and the days have been just gorgeous. I can hear them in the evenings--it sounds like a lot of fun.
On the evening prayers the Torah-scrolls in the synagogue are being taken out of their special cupboard and the men dance with them to express that joy.
As Tep said, that is very lovely
Back when I went to Catholic Mass (this was probably 10 years ago), a priest from an African country was visiting our parish, and he said the Mass, instead of "our" priest. And instead of the prayer-response thing that is normally said (or mumbled) or sometimes sung before the priest reads the gospel, he picked up the bible and (I believe he had a few musicians with him, too, who were playing -- guitar and a flute, maybe) danced down and then back up the aisle with it, holding it aloft. And the look on his face was utter joy.
I call shotgun!
Then I'm slounging in the back seat with my copy of Anansi Boys. Can we stop for bacon?
Wow, I really want to see a copy the mug shot...
thesmokinggun.com will have it.

Obviously I meant actual shotgun, as in 'weapon with which to mow down my opressors', but bacon sounds great.

I t heart Spider. So much.
'weapon with which to mow down my opressors'
You should call them downpressors. It's what we do.
I probably also meant to spell oppressors correctly.
You're not allowed to go to jail unless you can be out on bail by next Friday.
Cashmere, I just love walking around the streets here in Sukkot, and just notice all of them hiding in back parking lots and roofs and such, each of them a nice little surprise.

Oh, during Jewish holidays (and saturdays, too), one is not allowed to play an instrument, so all the dancing is done in rhythm of the songs that are being sang (again, without music) by those who dance.
And the look on his face was utter joy.
Oh, that's lovely.
