In the Jewish Religion they have many holiday's like Passover, Hanukkah, etc. One of my new found favorites is Sukkot. They build temporary shelters in front yard to be a family room-eating area for 7 days. It is to remember the Exodus out of Egypt and how temporary their lives are with out God's help. Traditionally it goes along with the harvest as well and on the 8th day they pray for rain. Tradition has it that it will rain within 2 weeks of these prays. And last night it did! It wasn't a ton of rain but lots of thunder and lightening. I still can't believe I was able to get a picture but I guess that goes to show how much lighting their really was! It is a little blurry but still cool!
