The Ravenna Kibbutz

Would it kill you to find a nice Jewish commune?

The Sukkah of 5769

The Ravenna Kibbutz sukkah is always 100% local organic. This year it was also big enough to fill House Aleph's entire deck. (Next year it have to be even bigger.) We harvested branches from Joel's dad's firewood scrap pile in Olympia, and bamboo and ivy from the ravine. Then we basically weaved a giant basket with them. Best smelling sukkah ever!
