LONDON, UK — Over 1000 people climbed on board four mobile sukkahs which made their way around the capital during the Sukkot festival this week.

The sukkahs, which were mounted on the back trucks, visited locations in the City, West End, North and East London, as well as going as far afield as Oxford, to allow people to eat in a sukkah, shake the Lulav and Etrog and learn more about the festival.

Jewish students at S. Diego State University enjoy a game of volleyball at a welcome back event coordinated by Jewish Student Life, a Chabad-Lubavitch organization serving colleges in the area.

Returning university students and incoming freshmen alike have jumped into a semester of Jewish promise at schools across North America.

Pointing to activities ranging from the current crop of High Holiday programs to weekly Shabbat dinners, and 2009 calendars that kicked off with back-to-school barbeques and other massive offerings of food, Jewish collegians say their local Chabad Houses have provided an interesting counterpoint to the decidedly secular atmosphere of university life.
