This week, I am excited to be hosting three quick give-aways in honor of Sukkot. Each sweepstakes will close on Wednesday night, with the winners of all three being announced on Thursday morning.
The Sukkah Project was so pleased with the KOAB response to the earlier sukkah banner giveaway (and to that awesome 5% off coupon code) that they offered to give away another banner to one lucky reader! Wow!
This gorgeous Chag Sukkot Sameach Banner will surely enliven any sukkah!
By renowned Israeli artist Baruch Nachshon (2008), the banner envisions Chag Ha’Sukkot in the age of Moshiach. (Retail value: $60.) The banner is printed with the latest silk-screen and dye sublimation techniques on colorful, weather-proof nylon fabric, and comes with dowel pockets with dowels for hanging.
If you would like to add this gorgeous banner to your sukkah, simply complete the instructions on the Rafflectopter below. The first entry is mandatory: Tell me what one person – past or present – you would invite to a meal in your sukkah. The other entries are optional – but the more you enter, the better your chances are of winning!
(If you are viewing this post in your email, please click through to the blog to enter the giveaway.)
Disclaimer: The Sukkah Project will provide the banner to the winner KOAB reader. I was not otherwise compensated for running this giveaway.
yes please!
I know that I am supposed to be creative and pick some interesting historical figure to invite to my sukkah. But the truth is, I would invite my mother. I would love for her to meet her grandchildren
If I could have one special guest in my sukkah this year, it would be my mother. My mother passed away 10 months ago after a very brief illness. Needless to say, I miss her terribly.
As you can see from my comment above, I had a very similar thought.
The haftarah that we read on the second day of Rosh Hashanah says, “Ki midei dabri bo zakhor eskarena od—whenever I speak of him, I remember him more and more.” When we remember, we bring to life all that was. I hope that your memories of your mother will bring you comfort.
I would love to have my grandparents back in my sukkah!
This is a beautiful banner! Hm, who would I invite….I think it would be my grandparents and my aunt who all passed away before any of my kids were born, but they would get such tremendous nachas out of them…
Julie and Debbie – I’m sending you both big hugs. I’m so sorry for your losses.
Not original, but I would also invte my grandmother. I would love her to meet my husband and kids. She would really love them.
I would love to have my Dad. I would want him to meet his grandkids and my husband, and to help me cook.
I’d love to invite my friends who I never get to see for an awesome meal!
I would invite my grandparents whom I have never met.
I’d love this for the little 1st graders that could come to our sukkah!
I would love to have my family from Boston and Denver visit for sukkot and come to my family’s first ever sukkah!
I would love to have my mother z”l so she could meet my husband and kids.
I see I’m not alone… I wish my dad was still alive 🙁
My maternal grandmother.
my grandfathers
my friends from Camp Ramah, 1972-1973-
B”H
all my siblings 🙂
Myself, circa 2000. I have a lot of advice to dispense!! Also, I had a lot more energy back then, so I’d let 2000-me do all the cooking and cleaning.
My whole family. It would be nice to have everyone together for the holidays!
I would love to invite to my sukkah my father’s parents, of blessed memory, who I never had the privilege of knowing.
I would like to invite a whole bunch of political leaders to come together, share a meal, and let me help themm solve all the worlds problems….
All of my grandparents…I wish they could see my wonderful husband and beautiful kids
I would love to have my mother come to my sukkah. But I’m sure she, as well as everyone’s loved ones, is looking down from the heavens and schepping nachas! Thanks!
I wish my whole family could come!
I would invite menachem begin to be a guest in our sukkah. I would love my children to meet a modern day jewish hero -a man who may not have appeared to be a warrior but was a source of strength, faced the world with jewish pride and loved the jewish people. He was a survivor!
I think I would invite Noam Apter, z”l, my son’s namesake. http://www.aish.com/jw/mo/48933087.html
Count me in – Moadim LSimcha!
My grandparents
Love this. Beautiful!
Opps – would invite Avraham, Yitzchak, Ya’akov…..wait, we do that.
I would invite my brother, sister in law and niece, who I don’t get to see enough.
The Rambam. And I’d ask him for a medical diagnosis.
I too want to invite my mishpacha that has passed, my mother especially.
My mother in love. She was amazing!
I would have my mother as she has been gone for two years & really miss her enthusiasm at our Yom Tov table. Tnx
I would invite Moshe Rabbainu.
I would invite, with my children’s suggestions, my father-in-law and my grandfather. Both have passed and my sons are named for them.
I would invite my mother in law who lives in South Africa.
my siblings
The Lubavitcher Rebbe!
I’d want to invite one of the famous and traditional torah personalities, probably yaakov avinu!
My grandparents. Thankfully they are alive but live in Tulsa so I would love if they could come to Chicago, although they would hate the cold.
I would invite my maternal grandparents. They never got a chance to meet my husband or see their great grandchildren. This is our first ever sukkah and we need all the decoration help we can get 🙂
Good question… I never really thought of it, but if I could invite anyone in my Succa it would be Rivka Imenue. I always wanted to meet her.
My mom, dad, and brother. I miss my entire family. We’ve now moved 1,500 miles away from my closest family member, and I miss them terribly. Now with a 2-year-old and a newborn baby, we can’t travel like we used to. So we must celebrate alone. I’d love to open up our sukkah to my whole family and welcome them to our new home.
I would love to display such a beautiful banner in our sukkah in florida.
the colors are bright and so festive!o
Happy sukkos to you all!
Golda meir and anne Frank would be intresting guests!
Great-grandparents whom I never had a chance to meet…
I would invite all my deceased relatives who were murdered during the Shoah so I could finally meet all of them.
We moved recently, so if I could invite one person, it would be one of my best friends that we moved 2000 miles away from. Her daughters are my daughters’ best friends and we all miss the whole family.
I’d invite Moses. I’ve got a lot of questions I’d like to ask him!
Moshe Rabeinu
Just as an aside, a teacher asked her class this question, but instead of saying “past or present,” she said “living or dead.” A student answered, “Of course someone alive.” I would invite my grandmother and father, both OBM, so they could see my children, would love to have any of the ushpisin (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, David) (and guest), and I would love to have Gilad Shalit.
Diane – which Camp Ramah did you go to in ’72-73?
I’m just looking forward to being able to invite guests – we’re getting our first sukkah!
my sis in law, can’t wait for her to come 🙂
I wish my sukkah was big enough to invite my whole extended family!
I would love to have Yaakov Avinu and Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetzky – our Baby Y is named for them.
I would be really happy if both my parents were well enough to join us in the Succah. There is still plenty of time for Moshiach to come and heal all that need healing.
I just found your website through a friend on Facebook last week. I absolutley love it!!! Thank you so much. I really appreciate all the tips and help; keep them coming!!!
My great-great-grandfather. He was a “simple” teacher in Poland and I’d want him to see how large his family has grown. We’d spend the time talking about my very large extended family, showing him the family tree and me asking him endless questions about his life and everything he remembered about his (our) ancestors.
That is a hard question, who to invite. One person I would really like to have come to my Sukkah is my cousin Shelly, who has already been invited. I hope she can make it out here to visit 🙂
my familt

My dad – he passed away 10 years ago when my son was 2-1/2. My son’s bar mitzvah is soon, and I so wish he was here to join us.
I would love to invite my paternal grandmother to my succah. She passed away when my father was a teenager and I am named after her.
I’d invite my mother-in-law. She passed a few years ago but there is hardly a day that goes by that we don’t wish she was here with us!
I would invite my grandparents to meet their namesakes.
My family from out of town.
