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.

Happy Sukkot Holiday

The Sukkot holiday begins at sunset tonight.

Next cartoon on Monday September 27th!

'Til then, G'mar Hatima Tova, Happy New Year, Hag Sameah, Shabbat Shalom, and Happy Holiday to us all!

Another Holiday

Sukkot, or “the Feast of Tabernacles,” is the third major Jewish holiday in the Hebrew month of Tishrei.
The first was Rosh Hashanah, the second was Yom Kippur.
This year, the week-long Sukkot holiday begins begins at sundown on Friday, September 29 2023, and ends at nightfall on Friday, October 6, 2023.

Today's Sukkot cartoon showing Mr. Shuldig (my alter ego) and his dog, Doobie, is a "Golden Oldie". I drew it back in 1999 and updated the dates for this year. Enjoy

Sukkot (1998)

Today's Golden Oldie is from September 28, 1998. Usually I am frustrated by the various English spellings for this holiday . . . Succot, Sukkot, Sukkoth, etc.

When I was a kid the Ashkenazi accented Sukkas was the accepted pronunciation. But a while ago, "when I was a kid" started to seem like the dark ages. That lead me to doing this cartoon. Of course ten years have now gone by since I considered my growing old in this 'toon from 1998.

By the way, the idea of the modern supermarket, where customers take the stuff off the shelves themselves was apparently developed by American entrepreneur Clarence Saunders and his Piggly Wiggly stores. His first store opened in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1916. For more about the history of supermarkets click here.

A Sukkot Tradition.

An important part of our annual Jerusalem march on Sukkot is the many Christians from around the world who participate.

The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) holds a Feast of Tabernacles on Sukkot every year. This year's event has brought about 3,000 Christians from more than 80 nations, including groups from Egypt, Turkey and as far away as Fiji, where a specially chartered flight from Fiji Airways made its first-ever landing at Ben-Gurion International Airport just in time to bring in a contingent of Fijiin Christian supporters of Israel who will, of course, be marching (along with Israeli participants) in this, our 68th annual Jerusalem March .

In this tense period both in Israel and around the Jewish world we seem to be both more together and more isolated than ever. Once again "they rise up against us." This coming New Year will be significant for the Jewish People. The High Holidays will soon be upon us. They begin with Rosh Hashanah (sunset of Wednesday, September 24, 2014) and end with the end of Sukkot(nightfall of Wednesday, October 15, 2014)

The Dry Bones Haggadah makes a unique and perfect gift this year.
Check it out at our Dry Bones Store (the only place where they are for sale): http://store.drybones.com/

We, I and the LSW (Long Suffering Wife), mail the Haggadahs from our living room in Israel, so order now to give the Post Office time to reach you.

Happy Holiday

HAG SAMEACH! Sukkot begins at sundown Sunday, September 23. HAPPY HOLIDAY!

We want to continue to fight the good fight but we can't do it alone.
The LSW (Long Suffering Wife) and I need your help.
There's no one else!

Sukkot 2009

I am off on a speaking tour in the States until the end of October. I wrote, drew, and posted a set of cartoons to provide you with a daily chuckle while I'm away.

This is one of those cartoons.
