And here are the folks who built it. It was a chilly morning, but no one seemed to notice. Adrianne had sent reminders to the usual Sukkah builders, and thanks to all who responded, the job was done in record time. Happily, Adrianne, with visionary forethought, brought a video how-to, which showed which piece should connect to what piece. “Black on the bottom” was heard throughout the process. Then, when the frame was anchored in place, out came the decorations for the interior. It was a proud moment when Adrianne announced, “It’s done.” And it was, and it was beautiful.
