    Sukkos is an eight-day harvest holiday that falls just after Yom Kippur in the Jewish calendar. And so once again the Sukkos Mob returns to the streets and sukkahs of New York City with their latest production, an homage to film maker Alex Rivera, Don’t Let the Sheep Get in Your Eyes! an intimate science fiction story knit together with authentic sheeps' wool and music.

    On today’s Beyond the Tale we get a foretaste of this year’s zany politically biting production. And we also learn how to make pickles!!
