Summary
As Sukkot approaches, we bring on a botanist to dig into the agricultural side of this underrated Jewish holiday. Chutzpod! is joined by Holly Poole-Kavana from Little Red Bird Botanicals to talk about how plants are used for sacred traditions. What is the significance of the willow, myrtle, date palm, and of course the Etrog! Plus, get a “peek” at Rabbi Shira’s backyard sukkah, featuring botanical murals by artist Mai-Han Nguyen (@nah_iam on Instagram).
Hope everyone had an easy fast!
