Sukkot is probably my favorite Jewish holiday because we get to build a temporary structure, a sukkah, to live in—and decorate!—for a week. (More about why we do that here.) Traditionally, Jews adorn their Sukkot with posters of the ushpizin, the seven biblical “guests” who we invite to join us on each night of the festival. Not surprisingly, the ushpizin are all men: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, Joseph and David; the most revered dudes in the Torah. No ladies—until now.
Rather than invite seven biblical men to my sukkah, I decided I’d invite the Jewish female comedians and characters I’ve been most into this year, and throw together some posters to honor them.
I think the temporary/pop-up nature of Sukkot lends itself to a pop-culture influence, where the guests you welcome one year might not be the same ones you welcome the next. Last year I honored the cast of Girls. This year I’ve been pretty obsessed with Broad City, and continued to cultivate my enduring love for Lena Dunham, Sarah Silverman and others.
So without further ado, here are my ‘Ushpizienne: Class of 5775’: Lena Dunham, Amy Schumer, Abbi Jacobson, Jenny Slate, Ilana Glazer, Sarah Silverman, and Yael Stone.
Don’t forget to ‘hack into booth city’:
And—why not—the cast of Girls, from last Sukkot:

Good response in return of this question with solid arguments and describing the whole
thing about that.
all the time i used to read smaller articles which also clear their motive, and that is also happening with this paragraph which I am reading here.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would
never understand. It seems too complicated and very
broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of
it!
Hi! Would you mind if I share your blog with my twitter group?
There’s a lot of folks that I think would really enjoy your
content. Please let me know. Thank you
Simply desire to say your article is as astounding.

professional in this subject. Fine together with your permission allow me to grasp your feed to keep updated
with approaching post. Thanks 1,000,000 and please carry on the enjoyable work.
Nice post. I was checking constantly this weblog and I’m impressed!
Very useful info specifically the ultimate phase :) I take care of such info a lot.
I was seeking this particular information for a very lengthy time.
Thanks and good luck.
I have been surfing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article
like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the
web will be a lot more useful than ever before.
I pay a visit each day a few web pages and sites to read articles, except this website gives feature based articles.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos
to your site when you could be giving us something informative to read?
Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.
I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have
any tips or suggestions? Thanks
These are genuinely enormous ideas in about blogging.
You have touched some good things here. Any way keep up wrinting.
I wanted to thank you for this good read!! I certainly enjoyed every bit
of it. I’ve got you bookmarked to look at new stuff you post…
excellent issues altogether, you simply received
a brand new reader. What could you suggest about your put up that you
just made some days in the past? Any sure?
Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard
work due to no data backup. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
I was suggested this web site by my cousin. I’m not sure
whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such
detailed about my problem. You’re incredible! Thanks!
Excellent site you have got here.. It’s difficult to find high-quality writing like yours nowadays.
I truly appreciate individuals like you! Take care!!
