London, England - A Buckhurst Hill Rabbi has been touring the area in his Sukkah Mobile to bring home the message of a Jewish festival.

This week the Jewish community has been celebrating the festival of Tabernacles, which commemorates the Jewish Exodus from Egypt.

The exiled Jews built huts in the desert and Jewish people all over the world build their own replica huts to remember the occasion.

Because not all Jewish people are able to build their own huts Rabbi Odom Brandman, of the Chabad centre, Russell Road, has been touring schools and Jewish families in the area with his Sukkah Mobile - a hut on the back of a pick-up truck.
