Georgetown Synagogue

The sukkah is a temporary structure with a roof of branches or bamboo that represents the ancient jewish peoples travel through the desert from Egypt to Israel. The Bible commands in the book of exodus that this hut be erected outside for 7 days each fall and that jewish people eat their meals under its shade.
