Sukkot in St. Francisville
Shalom. I have started this discussion so that folks that are coming to Sukkot in St. Francisville, or are interested in coming, can ask questions and make comments. We at Beth Lechem are all excited about being there and are hoping that others will post so that the excitement might spread.

This is a very useful discussion Web and I hope people planning to come to St. Francisville for Sukkoth will jump in with various questions and input.
One thing that might be worth discussing would be meals and special diets. I understand from our meeting in Charlotte Web that your group will be preparing biblically "kosher" meals and are willing to extend that preparation for a very reasonable cost to others who would want to participate. This is a very gracious offer and not having to worry about shopping and meal preparation is really a great blessing. I definitely want to take you up on that.
However, my understanding, and you have written me privately about this, is that you can adapt this for those of us who do not eat meat and/or fish--or as Woody Allen once put it, "anything with a face," or as the Bible puts it, any "living creature (nephesh chayah, literally "living breather." I truly appreciate your willingness to do this for those of us who are more oriented to the diet of Genesis 1 than that of the post-Flood world of Genesis 9ff.
I realize there might be other questions if someone does not eat any kind of animal products at all--i.e., eggs & dairy, but in my case I am not following a "vegan" diet, just no flesh/blood, and since your cheese is kosher anyway, it should be easy.
I am wondering if there might be other dietary questions or concerns. My guess is that most will have no problems with anything you provide and I really appreciate you offering this with all the hard work and planning that it requires.
Beyond the diet--yes I am very excited about this gathering and I am glad you have minded us that it is just eight weeks away! I encourage those who have not to sign up and let us know you are coming.

Shalom Everyone,
I just wanted to say how much Beth Lechem is looking forward to coming to LA for Sukkot. Sukkot is the “Season of Our Joy” and sharing Sukkot with new people and in a new place always adds to the JOY.
Beth Lechem has kept Sukkot in the same location for the past three years and we are ready to change it up and get louder (not to the extreme, of course). We are looking forward to singing and dancing without the constraints of other campers around us.
We have traveled as a group several times to Sukkot, as far as Oklahoma twice, Pennyslvania once, and Table Rock, SC (mountains) twice. We look at traveling to Sukkot as acting out the time Israel lived in the wilderness and traveled from place to place.
We are going to have a great time together. Sukkot is Beth Lechem’s favorite festival. The children talk about going to Sukkot all through the year.
Please contact me for any questions you might have that I may be able to answer.
Tami

About the snack lunch, it is definitely more than a snack.
Several years ago we changed from 3 full meals a day (usually cooking every meal) to at least two full meals and most days a snack lunch. Shabbats always include a nice lunch.
As you can see from the meals listed on this site, the meals that are planned are full meals. Three of these a day is just too much food. We found in the past, that by dinner time most people were saying they were not hungry. Also, the amount of time it takes to cook and clean up after a meal while camping usually takes much longer. We wanted the afternoons free for teaching, fellowship, volleyball, resting, etc.
A snack lunch may have any combination of the following types of items: nuts, cheeses, fresh fruit, crackers, humus and other dips, flat bread or pita bread, fresh cut veggies with dips, packs of crackers, applesauce, olives, salsa, chips (several kinds), a little something for the sweet tooth, and any thing else that we can think of that doesn’t have to be cooked. We try to always include at least one fruit, a protein, a veggie, and a carb.
Snack lunch also gives us the option to include any leftovers that we can heat quickly, so no food goes to waste. No one has ever complained of still being hungry after the snack lunch.
If you have any questions about the meals, please let me know.

Did you say volleyball?! We had a blast playing volleyball the last few years. I hope someone is able to bring a ball & net to with them! We set up croquet for the children this past year - it was kind of like miniature golf for them!
I am really looking forward to The Feast & sharing it with our newly found brothers & sisters.

While looking up at the full moon last night I was thinking that we are only one moon away from meeting with you all under the stars by the light of the Sukkot full moon!

Who'da thunk?! That time is back again! From the stomach aches from eating too much, to the sound of zippers unzipping, to the working out the muscles from putting up the sukkah, and back to the stomach aches from eating too much. It seems like just yesterday Sukkot was 14 weeks away (and trust me, we at Beth Lechem count down), now its only 8 more weeks! yay! We're very excited to be participating in a Sukkot with more people, meaning an extra dosage of joy! Our past few Sukkots have been tons of fun. It seems as if we walk away more unified as a community than before. Just think of the energy there will be with lots more people! hope to see you there! :)

Ahh Sukkot! Its one of my favorite times of year! The serenity of not having to focus on the worldly things so much, the joy of walking out Torah within the community (and this year there will be even more people to walk out Torah with!!), and the smell of Roehs steaks cooking on the grill.............ahhh who could ask for more? LOL! But seriously, its a very profitable time, and I agree with Tehilah that we come back even more unified as a people at the end of every Sukkot. So, come hang out with us in LA this year! We are all looking forward to it!
