The holiday isn’t transliterated as, “Skutttuk.” It is, “Sukkot,” which is also known as the Festival of Tabernacles/Booths.

There is also the planet Mars, aka the Roman god of war, that is right next to us. Closest approach is 8APR2014.

BTW, for the first time ever, the workers of Israel’s foreign ministry are on strike. No consulate/embassy services are available. How long it is to last no one knows.

Yes, Mars is very bright in the evening sky lately—near Spica but brighter. Jupiter is also very bright in Gemini. For those lucky enough to have a clear night between storms.
