Pre- and post-Yom Tov round-up

Here are links to my Wednesday, October 19-Sunday, October 23, 2011 posts:

• The latest trend in NYC-kosher-restaurant sukkot
  
• Adventures rabbah on Hoshana Rabbah
  
• Hoshana Rabbah, done right (forgiveness requested)
  
• No, it's not your imagination--What to say when and "The latest trend" (see link above) really do look better than when I first published them.
  
• Sore on Simchat Torah, but not from dancing
  
• A view from the opposite perspective

Enjoy!
