Appropriately, this was the first
communal event to be jointly spon-
sored by Yeshiva Beth Yehudah and
Yeshivas Darchei Torah, two local
Orthodox day schools.
The rejoicing harkens back to the
festive water-drawing ceremony that
took place on Sukkot during the era
of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

he sea of black hats was
offset by the white teeth of
all the smiles.
Held on the night of
the third day of Chol HaMoed, the
intermediate days of Sukkot, close to
300 members of
Detroit's
Orthodox corn-
munity met at
Congregation
Dovid Ben
Nuchim in Oak
Park to sing,
dance and cele-
brate at a Simchat
Beit HaShoeva.
Falling after the
High Holidays,
the festival of
Sukkot empha-
sizes the spirit of
unity.
