[etni] Sukkot on the J Site

**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il   http://www.etni.org   ****

Hi Everyone!

Sukkot is the Jewish holiday that commemorates how protective 
"Clouds of Glory" surrounded the Jewish people after leaving 
Egypt during the forty years of wandering in the desert. 
It also commemorates how the Jews lived in temporary dwellings 
during that same time. 
Sukkot begins Friday evening, October 10 and continues 
until Sunday, October 19th 2003. 
(In Israel, ends Saturday night, October 18.)

The J Site - Jewish Education and Entertainment 
<a href="http://www.j.co.il";>

has several entertaining features to celebrate Sukkot:

Jewish Trivia Quiz: Sukkot

What is the Hebrew date of the first day of Sukkot ? 
What is another name for the Sukkot holiday ? 
What does Sukkot commemorate ? 
What is the minimum area of a Sukkah as defined in the Talmud ? 
What is the maximum height of a Sukkah ? 
What does the Aramaic word "Ushpizin" mean ? 
Who gets called to the Torah reading on Simchat Torah ? 

The above questions are examples from the multiple choice 
Flash quiz. There are two levels of questions, two timer settings.
Both kids and adults will find it enjoyable.

Sukkot Clipart
Whether you need a picture for your child's class project, 
a graphic for your synagogue, Hillel or JCC Sukkot
announcement, the Jewish Clipart Database has the pictures
for you. You can copy, save and print the graphics in
three different sizes. 

Multilingual Word Search Game: Sukkot
Enter the Multilingual Word Search game and choose the
language you would like to play in: English, Hebrew or
Russian. There is an easy mode for the kids and a harder
mode for us big kids. Each game is randomly generated.
You can even print out a blank game (and the solution page) for 
offline playing. The easy mode was simple? Try the hard mode in 
a foreign language with the timer on. Remember that looking at the 
solution page is a last resort :-)

My Jewish Coloring Book - Sukkot Pictures
Young kids love to draw and this online coloring book
is made just for them. Three different size "brushes"
and 24 colors to choose from. You can print the completed
color pictures or print black and white outlines to color offline. 

My Hebrew Song Book - Sukkot Hebrew songs (with vowels)
for viewing and printing. All songs are in graphic format so you
do not need Hebrew installed to view or print them. 

The J site has something for everyone, but if that is not 
enough, I posted on my website 75 links about Sukkot, 
from laws and customs to games and recipes.
Site languages include English, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish,
French, Portuguese, German and Italian.
