Regarding Yom Kippur: The combination of fasting with parenting presents a new level of challenge. But we were glad to be able to participate.
In the evening we began phase II of sukkah building, which is to cut the boards to size (note: it might have been better to ask the lumberyard to do the cutting for us) and attach the brackets to the roof beams and corner posts. This is all work we won't have to do again next year. The kids thought this was pretty exciting and enjoyed helping out with the measuring tape, pencil, and bracket placement. They longed to wield the ball peen hammer but we drew the line.
The Sukkah Project instructions are clear and helpful. Still, one part of the assembly we did last night required concentration and attention to detail in order to get multiple brackets oriented correctly, and for those qualities of mind, the night following Yom Kippur is not the best. Not their fault.
