Matt’s Top 10 Sukkot Highlights

  1. Dwelling Under His Sukkah
    Taking time out of our man-made sukkah to dwell under His protection and provision — a reminder that we are ultimately under Yah’s care, not just our own.
  2. Jackson Trail Farm Website
    Creating a family website where each child has a page. It’s a space to share family stories, gifts, and projects, reflecting our heritage and faith.
  3. Handmade Family Gifts
    Each family member contributed handmade items: pickled peppers, pimento cheese, cookies, and sourdough bread. These gifts reflect intentionality and the joy of giving.
  4. Custom Family Cups and Keychains
    Personalized cups covered in epoxy for durability and custom keychains helped celebrate the family and tie into the Jackson Trail Farm theme.
  5. Family Meals and Feasts
    Preparing and sharing meals together, including smoked roasts and home-cooked recipes, emphasized community, gratitude, and celebrating Yah’s provision.
  6. Outdoor Movie Night
    Hosting an outdoor movie screening of Disney’s Jungle Book to enjoy family togetherness.
  7. Introducing Guests to Sukkot
    Inviting friends and family who hadn’t experienced Sukkot before — creating opportunities to share the significance and joy of the feast.
  8. Time with Young Children and Babies
    Experiencing the energy of little ones running around, which brought fun and chaos, reminding us of the blessings and responsibilities of family life.
  9. Reflecting on Provision and Protection
    Studying scripture and exploring the meaning of “sukkah” as a woven hedge or protective covering reinforced the spiritual lessons of dependence on Yah.
  10. Acknowledging the Harvest and Simplicity of Life
    Spending time outdoors, appreciating the harvest, and experiencing simplicity connected us to the rhythm of creation and the biblical roots of Sukkot.
