What are three pieces of advice you have for the current 6th graders as it relates to their Sukkah?  I would tell him to make sure we’re working together, I would tell them to make sure that everyone’s communicating, and I would tell them to make sure everyone’s working on it and telling each other what’s going on.

1. Sukkot represents impermanence (something that should not be permanent). Explain if you believe or disagree that our Sukkah, which is safely standing on its own, is violating that. I think it’s safely standing on its own because we made it so it would stand up by itself with no extra pieces of wood.

2. Describe how this Sukkah project has changed your perspective (how has it changed, what has it changed about, has it changed for the better/worst). It has changed my perspective because at the beginning I thought we would have been in our wall groups but we have all been helping eachother and working together.
