Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Master storyteller Eric A. Kimmel spins a tale of Sukkot just in time for the Jewish harvest festival.It was the season of Sukkot, the Jewish harvest festival. Two brothers each built a sukkah, or shelter, to celebrate and share in the gifts of the earth. One brother was very rich; the other brother was very poor. He built a sukkah of found materials and leftover goods, yet he invited all to share the holiday with him. When three mysterious guests visit each brother on Sukkot, they leave behind a special blessing that recognizes the generosity of the heart.
Three mysterious guests appear at generous but impoverished Ezra's table on Sukkoth and bless him, while they bring curses upon his rich but selfish brother Eben.
