Sukkah Hop - journeys
Welcome to Bnei Akiva! This year we are starting snif off with a hop! A sukkah hop is an especially fun snif, and it’s the perfect chance to make a great first impression with your chanichim. Be friendly, enthusiastic, fun, loud...be yourselves! The theme for this year’s Sukkah hop is ‘
On your way to the next sukkah, play games (icebreakers- learn everyone’s name!), get to know your chanichim, tell them facts that they haven’t heard about the location you just came from or are on your way to, ask them how their chagim were, tell short stories, quiz them about sukkot...the possibilities are endless! Get to know them as much as possible, so that you at least know how to adjust each activity to fit your group’s knowledge, attention span, etc. For example, maybe leave out mekorot for younger groups. Don’t forget a ‘Leishev BeSukkah’ for any food eaten. The facts about the different locations can either be told by madrichim on the way there, or by a person stationed at the sukkah. Each sukkah will have a different activity, so for one group the quiz might be Arvot Moav, while for another group the quiz is Midbar Sinai.
Our first location is, of course, Mitzrayim, the snif location. If you want to, you can make it into a secret mission (Children of Israel! Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to escape from the
1st Sukkah- Sukkot
-Sukkot is the very first place that Hashem took Bnei Yisrael to after Mitzrayim, even before they got to the Yam Suf.
-At Sukkot, Bnei Yisrael baked matzot out of the dough they had brought with them out of Mitzrayim. They had had to leave so fast that the dough didn’t even have time to rise!
-Rashi says that Sukkot was 120 km. away from Mitzrayim, several days travel, but Hashem brought Bnei Yisrael there in an hour. How did he do it? “On the wings of eagles”, as he tells us later (in Shmot éè).
-According to Targum Yonatan, “Sukkot” is actually referring to the Anenei HaKavod, which surrounded Bnei Yisrael on all sides like a sukkah does. Hashem protected Bnei Yisrael from the minute they left Mitzrayim. The Anenei Hakavod protected Bnei Yisrael from dangerous animals, extreme temperatures, and even leveled out mountains in their path.
2nd
This one is a little broad- basically, all of the wanderings of the forty years, from Sukkot to Arvot Moav. During this period:
-Bnei Yisrael complained that the food they had brought from Mitzrayim had run out, so Hashem started providing them with Maan to eat.
-Bnei Yisrael’s water came from Be’er Miriam, the rock that Moshe hit and did not stop giving water until Bnei Yisrael were almost in the land.
-The entire generation that had been slaves in Mitzrayim died in the desert, so that the people that entered Eretz Yisrael had never been slaves and were ready to fight the Cnaanim.
-Most importantly, Bnei Yisrael got the Torah at Har Sinai (Yes, it’s worth just a bit more than this little mention, but we thought that we’d leave that for Shavuot).
-If Hashem had wanted to (and some say that this was his original plan), he could have brought Bnei Yisrael to Eretz Yisrael in 11 days, but because of Bnei Yisrael’s sins (which maybe showed that they were not ready to enter the land), he instead led them in circles in the desert for 40 years.
3rd Sukkah- Arvot Moav
-From Arvot Moav, Bnei Yisrael could see right into Eretz Yisrael, the place they’ve been waiting to return to for a few hundred years! It’s across the Yarden from Yericho.
-This is where Yehoshua gets reassured by Hashem that he will be as great a leader as Moshe was.
-Bnei Yisrael entered Eretz Yisrael with a complete Nes Galui: The Cohanim carrying the Aron stepped into the Yarden, and the water parted right away. As soon as Bnei Yisrael had finished crossing, the Cohanim stepped out and the water returned to its place.
The Chanichim return to snif, which has now become Eretz Yisrael. The Maan stops, and Bnei Yisrael begin conquering Eretz Yisrael.
Sukkah Hop Quiz
required for this activity: Nothing. Optional: candies to give out to chanichim/teams who answer questions or win the competition.
