I apparently left this post as a draft when I wrote it back in the fall! So, enjoy this "Throwback" post featuring the Shiraniks celebrating Sukkot!
We have moved from the taste of honey cake and the sounds of the shofar to the sights and sounds of fall in the sukkah. This week, the students learned how to recite the prayer over the Four Species, and how to shake the lulav by doing the "Sukkah Shake." On Sunday, the rain was coming down too hard for Alissa to escort the class up to the sukkah, but they enjoyed learning about the harvest holiday in the warm confines of the classroom.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the students learned a new song parody to Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off," and they began recording the video in the sukkah. It will be completed soon, so stay tuned!
In the meantime, practice the lyrics to the karaoke version of the song (and if you want to audition for the rap section, you might want to check out the original song to get an idea of the timing of the words.)
Karaoke Version:
Original with lyrics
Everyone got a chance to shake the lulav!
Moadim L'Simcha! (It's the season of happiness!)
