This passage from the Torah discusses the Jewish holiday of Sukkot (Festival of Booths). It describes how for seven days, Israelites were to live in temporary shelters (booths) to commemorate God taking them out of slavery in Egypt. Specific instructions are given about not working on the first and last days and presenting offerings to God. The purpose of living in booths was so future generations would remember God leading the Israelites to freedom.

7. In 2005, Hurricane Wilma slammed into
Florida and left much of the area
without electricity.
We couldn’t cook, have the lights on or
run the air conditioner – and the air
was pretty humid. All the neighbors
had their windows open, trying to stay
cool.
During the time the power was off,
neighbors sat in their yards and visited
with one another. People who seldom
saw each other were getting
acquainted, and new friendships were
forged.
Schools were closed, so families were
able to spend a lot of time together.
When the power was re-stored, the
neighbors went back into their air-
conditioned homes and returned to
their cloistered lives.
However, I will always remember when
necessity brought neighbors together.
