Occupy LA isn’t going anywhere; in fact, they’re planning ahead. As part of the protests, the Progressive Jewish Alliance will build a Sukkah on the grassy area in front of City Hall on October 16. Sukkot, in case you didn’t know, is a Jewish holiday that falls sometime in late September or early October each year (Jewish holidays take place in accordance with the Jewish calendar, not the Gregorian calendar). It lasts for seven days, and is intended to be a remembrance of the time that Jews lived in makeshift homes while crossing the desert out of Egypt. more › Link: Celebrating Sukkot the Occupy LA Way: In Front of City Hall
