Sukkot
Sela Morgenstein Fuerst, 12, South Burlington
And there is room at our table, oh so much room, we are simply
bursting with food, we are overflowing.
Uniformity is not a problem in our sukkah. We can
name all the fruits, the breads, in different languages, colors,
dishes that are like nothing you’ve ever seen before. We are beautiful,
and it is beautiful, the amount, I mean, the muchness, this fracture of
normal or what we consider it to be. We want to be
considerate, to write labels on our food, to taste and split open in a grin,
electric lights blinking on and off like an overabundance of stars.
