HAPPY SUKKOT!!
Sukkot Holiday starts tomorrow evening. The name is the plural of Sukkah, which is a booth or a hut traditionally built especially for the holiday. You dine in the Sukka for 7 days (reverting to the safety of your house if it starts raining...), rejoicing with the end of judgment after the Yom Kippur.
As opposed to many Jewish holidays, which get kinda heavy, as they usually involve some fasting and atonement and a lot of "Thou Shall NOT!", this one is actually fun, as it's nature-related (it's also called The Harvest Festival).
Found this little video that relates to the tradition of shaking the Lulav (palm branch).
HAPPY HOLIDAY!!
!!!חג סוכות שמח

Hope the spirit of Sukkot washes away the memories of electricians and sundry workpersons and brings you joy!!
....Or perhaps you could try shaking THEM!!

I participated in the Seder once! A wonderful enlightening moment for me! :) I've never heard of Sukkot before! Thanks so much for sharing!
