(October 22, 2014) \u2013The votes have been tallied and Sasha and Chris Varone of the North Park community of San Diego, Calif. are the winners of the Sukkot at the Ranch Design Competition, sponsored by the Leichtag Foundation. The Sukkah was chosen by the people\u2019s choice in online and on site voting. The design competition invited members of the community to reimagine the ancient structure known as a sukkah, which has been built during the Jewish harvest of Sukkot since biblical times.<\/p>\n<p>The local husband and wife architecture team designed their modern interpretation of the sukkah using plywood. From their submission: \u201cThe seven sides of this Sukkah structure represent the seven days of the week and the seven year cycle. Once inside the Sukkah, one\u2019s awareness of the outside world is diminished. The base of the Sukkah structure tapers inwards to harvest one\u2019s thoughts, wishes and concerns. Conversely, the top tapers outwards to release them to the sky.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sukkah is traditionally erected for one week each autumn to commemorate the holiday of Sukkot, in celebration and gratitude of the harvest. It is customary, within the impermanent walls of the Sukkah, to share meals, entertain, and rejoice.<\/p>\n<p>The Leichtag Foundation presented the Varones with a $3,600 award. Three finalists were chosen by judges from the pool of 17 submissions to build their design. A team of volunteers built the Sukkahs on October 5 and the sukkahs were open to the public the following week for worship, art activities and the Sukkot at the Ranch event on October 12, which attracted 1,800 guests.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s themes were release and renewal and the canvas to express these themes is the Sukkah. Each Sukkah is required to adhere to a list of guidelines including that the structure be temporary; it must have at least two-and-a- half walls; it must be big enough to contain a table and most of a person\u2019s body; and it must have a roof made of shade-providing organic materials through which a person can see the stars.
