‘On Sukkot, it’s customary to read Chapter 14 from the prophet Zechariah”…who “hoped Sukkot could be an opportunity for shared healing after regional war. “The survivors of every nation,” he wrote, “will ascend to Jerusalem year after year, to worship the God beyond all armies, and to celebrate the holiday of Sukkot” (Zechariah 14:16). Camping together, making music, cooking food, sharing customs and creating new ones at an annual week-long interfaith festival: that was Zechariah’s visionary plan for regional healing. We don’t begin with political dialogue, theological comparison, or even shared stories of hurt and joy. Instead, we simply practice together in joy, one week a year.’ (http://www.myjewishlearning.com/rabbis-without-borders/sukkot-our-interfaith-hippie-re-visioning-festival/)
