The Narberth Havurah
Rules (click to open)
Rules (click to open)
Normally a sukkah must have the following features:
Free standing
Not be blown over by the wind
Provide more shade than sun
Covered with unprocessed vegetation
Be open to the sky
Take all meals in sukkah for 7 days
However, due to COVID, we are relaxing the requirements for our Unofficial Makeshift Sukkah contest
The only requirement is that the sukkah be free-standing long enough to take a picture to share with the Havurah, and must have some cover that exposes the sky. It can be any size, including doll-house sized, if so desired.
Be creative on building materials, construction techniques, interpretation of the rules, etc.
The sukkah does not need to be standing at the time of the contest; votes may be cast based on the entry photo (see instructions below for entering the contest)
More than one entry per household is permitted
To enter the contest, please follow the rules above, and send an e-mail to david.borden@narberthhavurah.org by noon (late entries may be accepted) on Sunday October 4, 2020, including:
A photo of your sukkah
A title for your entry
Your household name, as you want it to appear with the entry
If desired, a description of your sukkah, and/or any relevant text
The Narberth Havurah will be holding a Zoom Sukkot gathering on Sunday October 4 from 5-6pm to bless the sukkot and cast votes for the winning sukkah.

Our Sukkah is modeled after the majestic and awe-inspiring Pantheon of Rome with its mystical "oculus" eye-domed ceiling. Construction material includes poles, tablecloths and a hula hoop.
(We dare you to try to guess which image is the sukkah and which is the actual Pantheon!)
