Jewish residents of S. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands decorate the sukkah built by the island’s Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries.

The Talmud states that one who has never the joyous ceremony in the Holy Temple during Sukkot, has never seen joy. Jewish residents of S. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands will take that message to heart tonight when they commemorate the thousands-years-old ritual during a special party almost snuffed out by Hurricane Omar.
