Sukkot begins tonight at sundown, commemorating the autumn harvest and the forty-year period during which the Children of Israel wandered in the desert. An important Sukkot tradition involves the use of an etrog (a yellow fruit similar to a large, wrinkly lemon), which is protected inside an Etrog container such as this one designed by Israeli artist Zelig Segal, on view now. Learn more about the holiday through works in Jewish Museum collection on free admission days this Monday, September 24 and Tuesday, September 25. -- source link
