DEBBIE HITSKY
Special to the Jewish News
S
ukkot and Simchat Torah!
Close your eyes and think
back to your childhood.
What images do you "see?"
Sukkah dioramas made from shoe
boxes? Little Israeli flags speared
through apples? Neighbors "hopping"
from one sukkah to another? Kiddush
in the synagogue sukkah complete
with a million buzzing bees?
Since these holidays are loved by
children, it is natural that a children's
Web site is the perfect place for kids
to learn about and enjoy them. So,
open your eyes and surf on to
www.torahtots.com , the self-pro-
claimed "#1 site
for Jewish chil-
dren."
If you start at
the "Welcome" -
page, your chil-
dren will see a
British-accented
talking ark ani-
mation named:
"Tubby the Teva"
welcome them to
an "adventure."
Skip to the
homepage and
click on "Holi-
days" at the top.
From the pull-
down menu,
select "choose a
holiday" and
click on the
"Sukkot" graph-

Lure.
Now if your kids are interested in
the "whys" and "whats" of Sukkot,
Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah,
don't miss the "What's the Story"
•button. Come to think of it, you
probably will enjoy refreshing your
own memory with the customs and
laws of celebrating these holy days.
The "Fun and Games” button
opens a variety of puzzles, both
online and printable, and for the
budding Jewish artist, the "Coloring
Pages," 16 in all, can be printed,
completed, and hung in the Sukkah
you learned to build on the "What's
the Story" page.
Like sending e-cards for the holi-
days? Choose a card, select the color
and background, add music (do you
think "If I Were a Rich Man" fits
Sukkot?) and save yourself 37cents!
www.torahtots.com is a site for
children, but adults will find it easy
to navigate, too. What's a really nice
feature is that the bottom of every
page gives you a button to go back
to the Sukkot homepage and try
