The following list of useful information and links related to Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) was provided to us by Charity Dell. It is reproduced below as received.

This year SUKKOT, the "FEAST OF TABERNACLES", begins at sundown, September 29, 2004, for traditional and Messianic Jews. Many Christians also celebrate Sukkot--Sukkot is the basis for the American Thanksgiving. Here's the handy-dandy website list in case you missed it before. CHAG SAMEACH!

If this list has blessed you in any way, please feel free to pass this on to others. You may re-print this list in your church/synagogue/temple/fellowship newsletter/bulletin, and reproduce this/print out and distribute for others. You may also post this list on your website. (This list is updated yearly.)

VI. HOW TO BLESS AND WAVE THE LULAV/ETROG--the lulav/etrog are blessed and waved every day of Sukkot, waved in procession around the synagogue, and also waved during the recitation of Hallel, usually Psalm 118. It is taken in procession on Hoshana Rabbah, the last day of Sukkot, at which seven circuits are made around the synagogue. This is lots of FUN and everyone enjoys waving their praise! The lulav/etrog is waved in six directions--east, west, north, south, up, down--to show that God is everywhere and His presence fills the universe. Here are the websites that discuss this, from the very simple to the super-complex, esoteric interpretations of Talmudic scholars:
