New, Feast of Tabernacles Observance
Mandated by Vote of FPYC Board of Trustees
TOGO, MN – In a surprise Board meeting result, both Family Sessions of 2023 will be required to observe the Old Testament Feast of Tabernacles or more precisely The Festival of Sukkot. Sukkot means “booths”. Each session will celebrate this seven-day holiday by following the Levitical (23:33) command to dwell in temporary shelters, as our ancestors did in the wilderness. The temporary shelter is referred to as a sukkah (which is the singular form of the plural word sukkot. The sukkah will be great fun for the children. Building the sukkah satisfies the common childhood delight of building a fort; and dwelling in the sukkah satisfies a child's desire to camp out in said fort. No parent would dare to dampen this excitement.
The camp’s Board of Trustee vote was six in favor of adopting the proposal and six opposed. Kyle Haliday provided the Urim and Thummim to cast lots and break the impasse. “Sukkot it IS”, he announced to cheers and groans.
In an impressive display of legalistic prowess, one board member quickly advanced a motion to exempt his RV, arguing that since it lacked the washer/dryer laundry appliances, it was basically a temporary dwelling as outlined in some scripture somewhere and was thus, suitable as a booth.
The menu for the feast was all but settled consisting of unleavened bread and bitter herbs. However, we now understand the camp caretakers are scrabbling as they recently updated their pizza offering and no longer have access to the shingle-like, rectangalo-pizza we’ve come to know. Randy Penney reported, “Our new Pizza is much better and no longer has the austere qualities we’re looking to serve, so that’s on us.”
