Sukkot activities planned

RANDY THOMSON/Acorn Newspapers BLOWING THE HORN FOR REPENTENCE-Rabbi Moshe Bryski of Chabad blows the ram's horn, or shofar, calling the faithful to repent for their sins. Synagogue members traveled to the edge of Westlake Lake to unburden themseves of their sins as part of the Rosh Hashanah tradition.

Chabad of the Conejo will present "The One Stop Sukkah Shop" from 5 to 9:30 p.m. Mon., Sept. 27 at 30345 Canwood St., Agoura Hills. All the holiday needs for Sukkot (Festival of Booths) will be available, including decorations, palm branches and esrog and lulav sets. Frames by Lee will be selling supplies so that individuals may easily construct their own Sukkah.

Sukkot is a festive holiday designated by the Bible as the "Season of Rejoicing."

"Our joy on this holiday is the joy of survival, pride, and a deepened relationship with the Almighty," said Rabbi Moshe Bryski of Chabad.

Chabad will also be traveling through the community from Sun. to Tues., Oct. 3 to 5, with a Sukkah Mobile—a Sukkah built on the back of a flatbed truck. The mobile will visit shopping centers throughout the Conejo Valley and Calabasas offering the Jewish community an opportunity to visit a Sukkah and make the blessing of the "Four Species."
