Sukkot (2004)
September 20, 2004
Today's Golden Oldie was published in 2004 ...but it was a rerun ...another one of the very few cartoons that I repeated a cartoon. So 2004 was the second time that I ran the cartoon, but I just can't find the original. 2004 was before I had the blog, which, for me, defines it as a "golden oldie". So here's one of my favorite cartoons! Again!Tomorrow is Erev Sukkot, the eve of this week-long holiday. To browse my previous postings about Sukkot just click on the word Sukkot.

We used to hang your "Uncle Tom's Sukka" in our Sukka every year until it fell apart. Could you post that one again too, please?
The standard etymology for the word "tabernacle" is:
>>
Online Dictionary of Etymology: tabernacle -- mid-13c., "portable sanctuary carried by the Israelites in the wilderness," from O.Fr. tabernacle (12c.), from L. tabernaculum "tent," especially "a tent of an augur" (for taking observations), dim. of taberna "hut, cabin, booth" (see tavern). ...
or
Random House: 1200–50; ME < LL tabernāculum, L: tent, equiv. to tabern(a) hut, stall, inn (cf. tavern) + -āculum, prob. extracted from hibernāculum winter quarters (see hibernaculum)
<<
I derive tabernacle from:
tablet -- early 14c., "slab or flat surface for an inscription" (especially the two Mosaic tables of stone), from O.Fr. tablete (13c.), dim. of table "slab" (see table -- from L. tabula "a board, plank, table," originally "small flat slab or piece" for inscriptions ... plus the precursor of nacelle as the reversal of KayN = nest; (protective) cell, chamber + the French diminuitive -elle.

Bones, you have to be careful about advertising that we are building Sukkot. Izzy Cohen also had to avoid writing and explaining about the "tabernacle" and etymology, in building terms.
The Arabs, the UN, Hillary Clinton and Europe will be condemning us for building and not freezing.
In spite of them, Am Yisrael will enjoy a joyous festival, and thank G-d for all he has provided or perhaps even not provided.(Ha Shem leaves some things for us to do.)
Chag Sameach to all our people.
Nissim and me just came back from there. A great place with amazing hospitality. We lectured art and animation students and they were totally Tabula Rasa about Israel so it's great that you are going there to give our POV...
