Sukkot is one of the “moedim” - one of YHWH’s appointed times.

Everyone at the Rusk, Texas Sukkot has looked forward to this time of year with great anticipation.  As we come together, we seek to honor the Holy One of Israel in all that we say and do.  We seek to walk together as a close community of believers in Messiah – enjoying and serving one another.  It is our conduct as well as our attire that affects our witness both to one another and to the world.  At Sukkot, it is our expectation that all of us who gather together will dress and act modestly.

Listed below are some guidelines to help you.  Please review them carefully as you will be expected to adhere to them while you are at thisappointed feast:

§  No inappropriate slogans, pictures, advertisements or celebrities on your clothes

§  Nothing that is tight, low, or sheer

§  No tank tops, tube tops, spaghetti straps, crop tops, or exposed bra straps

§  No exposed bellies or backs

§  No short shorts/skirts.  These should not be shorter that 1 inch above the knee.  If you have something shorter that you would like to wear, you must have leggings visible underneath.

§  If your jeans have holes in them, make sure the holes are no higher that your knees

§  No facial or tongue piercing.  Some find this offensive/distracting.  Please remove these at the feast.

§  Remember you’re a witness to each other.  Wherever we are, let’s let our light shine.

Please review these rules together as a family.  If the dress code rules are not followed, you will either be asked to go back to your campsite and change, or if you need modest clothing we will help you find something appropriate.  Please plan your feast wardrobe accordingly.  Parents, please make sure your children are dressed modestly when we come together.

Thank you for your careful attention to this matter!
