If you can’t go to Jerusalem for Sukkot, try the next best thing: Bring the Holy City to your own backyard.
A Kotel-inspired sukkah, created by the company Designer Sukkahs by Oorah, features an exterior evocative of the Western Wall, made with heat- and cold-resistant material and galvanized metal. The sukkah features a window flap and a valance, and comes with a sukkah kit to help with set-up (the Web site proudly states that set-up takes a mere 30 minutes and requires no tools). A matching storage case is included.
The company manufactures schach in accordance with Halachic standards (sold separately) and offers two other designer sukkahs: The Classic, for those who prefer “formal elegance,” and Rich Embroidery, a colorful patchwork inspired by Middle Eastern fabrics.
