GATHERING SUKKAH
Competition Entry for Sukkah City - Austin, TX, 2012
Design Team: Nic Allinder, Travis Cook
Sit beside me, Kind Visitor, Between these billowing walls, Broken light through roof branches: Hold me fall breezes.
I invite You, Kind Healer, To sit in my sukkah, To rest in my presence As I recline against Yours.
I invite You to sweeten these days With the etrog's fragrance, Tart and pleasing, A boon to my weary senses.
I invite Your companions Of hope and faith, Healing and wishes, Whole -ness returned.
Allow my hospitality, In this place of peace, Where together we plan recovery, Fragility turned to strength
- Rabbi Debbie Perlman
