As some of you may know, I wrote a book on the Jewish Holidays (Jewish Holiday Style). Since then, I am often asked which holiday is my favorite. Without hesitation I answer “Sukkot”. After all, it gives me the opportunity to design a new outdoor dining room every year! It also doesn’t hurt that autumn is my favorite season.

The candelabra chandelier was used for the purpose of the photo only, but for safety purposes and longer lasting light you can use an electric chandelier instead. The schach, or roof of this sukkah was made up of pine tree branches that we found in the woods behind our house and I added dried hydrangeas throughout the branches. Outdoor cafe seating adds even more to the garden feel.

I am not Jewish but I do try to remember to do something for each of the 7 feasts. Book of Levit. tells us to celebrate them forever, especially Passover.
